### **Example**

**1.Create a configuration for your source and target databases:**  

```sh
source_db_config = {
    'db_type': 'postgresql',
    'host': 'localhost',
    'database': 'source_db',
    'user': 'your_user',
    'password': 'your_password'
    }

target_db_config = {
    'db_type': 'mysql', 
    'host': 'localhost', 
    'database': 'target_db'  
    'user': 'your_user', 
    'password': 'your_password'`
    }
```



**2.Perform data transfer:**  
```sh
from db2db import transfer_data  
source_table = 'source_table_name'` 
target_table = 'target_table_name'

try:` 
    transfer_data(source_db_config, target_db_config, source_table, target_table) 
    print("Data transfer completed successfully.")  
except Exception as e:` 
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
```


## **Configuration**

def create_connection_string(db_type, **kwargs): 
    """
    Create a SQLAlchemy connection string.

    Parameters:
