Allow users to skip unsupported fields when running `synth import` #306

Open JonasCir opened 2 years ago

JonasCir commented 2 years ago

Required Functionality I want to use synth, however, one unsupported field type (see #305) currently blocks the complete import process.

Proposed Solution Introduce a flag which skips over unsupported types and prints a warning, but keeps on processing supported types. When an unsupported type is encountered on a column with not null constraint, it should abort as generate data can not be imported into the DB in this case.

Use case This allows to use and experiment with synth even if some converters are not available. Users with complex DB setups are not blocked on all converters being available which should help with adoption rate.

This would be helpful to my use case as well, I've got several interval data types which prevents me from trying out Synth.
