SDV Enterprise for database modernization

Test migrations, configurations, and infrastructure with a synthetic clone of your database.

Generate a complete, production-realistic database from your own data patterns to compare platforms, plan capacity, and fine-tune NL-to-SQL models—without copying production records into test environments.

A synthetic database generated with SDV Enterprise feeds three evaluations: migration — will the target platform meet our SLAs; configuration optimization — which database configuration performs best; and capacity planning — what infrastructure will production workloads require.

A production-like synthetic database — generated from your own data patterns.

SDV Enterprise trains a generative relational model from scratch. It learns the database as a connected whole, capturing the statistical patterns, data structure, relationships, context, and business rules embedded in the data and spanning its tables. The trained model can then generate new synthetic databases repeatedly without distributing the original records.

1

Define the experiment

Choose the objective: migration testing, configuration optimization, capacity planning, performance testing, or NL-to-SQL fine-tuning.

2

Train a generative relational model

Use SDV Enterprise to train a model that learns the database as a connected whole.

3

Generate the synthetic database

Generate a complete synthetic version of the database at the scale the experiment requires.

4

Test, compare, or fine-tune

Run repeatable tests or fine-tune NL-to-SQL models using consistent, production-realistic data.

Train once. Generate many synthetic clones of your database.

Train a generative relational model on your database as a connected whole. Retain the trained model and use it to generate complete synthetic database clones repeatedly, at the scale and inside the environment required for each test.

Deep relational schemas

Generate complete databases across hundreds of connected tables and any relational depth.

Referential integrity and cardinality

Preserve valid connections and realistic parent-child cardinalities across generated tables.

Complex keys and relationships

Support composite keys, self-referential structures, primary-key-to-primary-key relationships, and other complex patterns.

Production-scale generation

Generate the data volume required for migration, performance, and capacity testing.

Isolated enterprise deployment

Train and generate inside your on-premises, VPC, or air-gapped environment.

Reusable trained models

Retain the trained model and generate new synthetic clones of your database whenever they are needed.

Test how the target platform will behave before cutover.

A migration changes the runtime foundation of critical applications. Load a synthetic clone of your database into each candidate platform, run the same representative workloads, and compare query latency, throughput, concurrency, compatibility, execution plans, infrastructure requirements, and service-level performance before production is at risk.

  • Benchmark destination platforms using the same synthetic clone and representative workloads
  • Validate schema, constraints, and referential integrity after loading
  • Estimate infrastructure requirements, operating costs, and migration windows
  • Identify regressions while the architecture can still change

Turn configuration tuning from guesswork into a repeatable experiment.

Epiconcept used SDV Enterprise to generate a synthetic clone of its complex 37-table database. The team loaded the synthetic database into MariaDB and ran the same representative queries across different database configurations and machine profiles⁠—without exposing sensitive patient records.

Reuse a generative relational model across database decisions.

Retain the trained generative relational model and generation workflow as an internal capability. Generate new synthetic clones as platforms, workloads, and requirements evolve. Retrain the model when material changes to the source database need to be captured.

Platform and vendor evaluation

Compare performance, compatibility, and cost across database engines and cloud platforms using the same synthetic clone and representative workloads.

Database upgrade regression testing

Detect performance and behavioral regressions before upgrading.

Infrastructure sizing and capacity planning

Determine resource requirements at production-scale data volumes using representative workloads.

Index, partition, and sharding experiments

Test physical design strategies using the same synthetic clone before changing production.

High availability and disaster recovery testing

Run representative workloads against a synthetic clone to validate failover and recovery behavior.

NL-to-SQL fine-tuning and evaluation

Fine-tune and evaluate NL-to-SQL models for your schema using synthetic training examples and a synthetic clone of your database.

WHY SYNTHETIC DATABASES

Realism without the operational burden of a production copy.

Approach

Relational fidelity

Generates new, realistic records

Scales beyond source volume

Generates test data, not production records

Ongoing maintenance

Random generation

Low

No—new records are random

Yes

Yes

Generation logic must be maintained

Rules-based generation

Depends on rule coverage

Limited—depends on the number and coverage of rules authored

Yes

Yes

Rules must be authored and updated

Masked production copy

Preserves existing relationships when consistently masked

No—transforms existing production records

Limited

No

Copying and masking pipelines must be maintained

SDV Enterprise

Learned and validated across tables

Yes

Yes

Yes

Reuse the trained model; retrain when the source materially changes

Benchmark suitability should be validated against the properties each workload depends on, including schema, cardinality, distributions, correlations, and volume.

Production patterns stay inside your security boundary.

SDV Enterprise is a Python SDK installed where your database already lives. Train the generative model, save it, and generate new databases without sending customer data to DataCebo.
