You can use [Debezium](https://debezium.io/) to propagate Change Data Capture
(CDC) data to Materialize from databases that are not supported via native
connectors. For PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, we **strongly recommend** using
the native [PostgreSQL](/sql/create-source/postgres/) and [MySQL](/sql/create-source/mysql/)
sources instead.

### Using Debezium

For databases that are not yet natively supported, like Oracle, SQL Server, or
MongoDB, you can use [Debezium](https://debezium.io/) to propagate Change Data
Capture (CDC) data to Materialize.

{{< debezium-json >}}

Debezium captures row-level changes resulting from `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and
`DELETE` operations in the upstream database and publishes them as events to
Kafka (and other Kafka API-compatible brokers) using Kafka Connect-compatible
connectors. For more details on CDC support in Materialize, check the
[Kafka source](/sql/create-source/kafka/#using-debezium) reference
documentation.
