    • Feeds
    • Cloud Storage
    • Cloud Databases

In case you maintain your data in databases such as MS Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, PostgreSQL SQLite, DB2, DB2 AS/400, and other applications behind firewall then you could synchronize data from your databases into Zoho Analytics Workspace using our Upload Tool.

Zoho Analytics Upload Tool is a downloadable standalone utility, that enables you to pull data from application databases behind firewall to upload the same into Zoho Analytics Workspace.

The Upload Tool also allows you to automate the import process at scheduled intervals. With this your Workspace will be updated with latest data without manual intervention and thus keeps your reports and dashboards latest for better analysis.

To know how to fetch data from your database using Upload Tool, refer to the Import from Local Databases section.

9. How can I create a Workspace by importing Data from Cloud Databases?

Zoho Analytics allows you to import the data stored in different Cloud databases such as Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift and Microsoft SQL Azure for advanced reporting & analysis.
