# Faker

## Sync overview

The Sample Data (Faker) source generates sample data using the python
[`mimesis`](https://mimesis.name/en/master/) package.

### Output schema

This source will generate an "e-commerce-like" dataset with users, products, and purchases. Here's
what is produced at a Postgres destination connected to this source:

```sql
CREATE TABLE "public"."users" (
    "address" jsonb,
    "occupation" text,
    "gender" text,
    "academic_degree" text,
    "weight" int8,
    "created_at" timestamptz,
    "language" text,
    "telephone" text,
    "title" text,
    "updated_at" timestamptz,
    "nationality" text,
    "blood_type" text,
    "name" text,
    "id" float8,
    "age" int8,
    "email" text,
    "height" text,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_users_hashid" text
);

CREATE TABLE "public"."users_address" (
    "_airbyte_users_hashid" text,
    "country_code" text,
    "province" text,
    "city" text,
    "street_number" text,
    "state" text,
    "postal_code" text,
    "street_name" text,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_address_hashid" text
);

CREATE TABLE "public"."products" (
    "id" float8,
    "make" text,
    "year" float8,
    "model" text,
    "price" float8,
    "created_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_dev_products_hashid" text,
);

CREATE TABLE "public"."purchases" (
    "id" float8,
    "user_id" float8,
    "product_id" float8,
    "purchased_at" timestamptz,
    "added_to_cart_at" timestamptz,
    "returned_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_ab_id" varchar,
    -- "_airbyte_emitted_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_normalized_at" timestamptz,
    -- "_airbyte_dev_purchases_hashid" text,
);

```

### Features

| Feature           | Supported?\(Yes/No\) | Notes |
| :---------------- | :------------------- | :---- |
| Full Refresh Sync | Yes                  |       |
| Incremental Sync  | Yes                  |       |
| Namespaces        | No                   |       |

Of note, if you choose `Incremental Sync`, state will be maintained between syncs, and once you hit
`count` records, no new records will be added.

You can choose a specific `seed` (integer) as an option for this connector which will guarantee that
the same fake records are generated each time. Otherwise, random data will be created on each
subsequent sync.

### Requirements

None!
