How to fetch data from db to Appian?

I entered your question in ChatGPT ...

To fetch data from a database to Appian using synced records, you can follow these steps:

1. Set up a database connection: Configure a connection to your database in Appian. This involves providing the necessary connection details such as hostname, port, database name, username, and password. Appian supports various databases like Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, etc.

2. Define a data source: In Appian, a data source represents the database table or view from which you want to fetch data. Define a data source by specifying the database connection and the table/view name.

3. Configure synced records: In Appian, synced records allow you to synchronize data between the database and Appian. Configure a synced record by selecting the data source you defined in the previous step. Specify additional options like the synchronization frequency, filtering criteria, and mapping of fields between the database and Appian.

4. Generate a record type: Appian generates a record type based on the structure of the database table/view. This record type represents the schema of the data that will be synchronized. You can customize the generated record type if needed.

5. Synchronize data: Appian automatically synchronizes data between the database and Appian based on the configured options. The synchronization process retrieves data from the database at the specified frequency and updates the corresponding synced records in Appian.

6. Access the synced data: Once the synchronization is complete, you can access the synced data in Appian using the generated record type. You can use this data in various Appian components, such as forms, grids, or process models, to display and manipulate the information as needed.

By using synced records, Appian handles the data synchronization process for you, ensuring that the data in Appian remains up-to-date with the database.

But the publicly available Appian documentation or any search engine should be able to quickly answer your question.
