Salesforce – Snowflake Integration: Salesforce has released Tableau CRM Sync Out connector to provide integration among Salesforce with Snowflake. Moreover, Connector moves Salesforce data directly into Snowflake, simplifying the data pipeline and reducing latency. The beauty of connector is it automates Data Definition Language (DDL) creation on the Snowflake side like below:
create or replace temporary stage QOCDpCase file_format =(field_delimiter = ',' skip_header = 0 FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY = '"' NULL_IF = ( '' ) SKIP_BLANK_LINES = TRUE );
create or replace table "CASE"(Id VARCHAR(18), Origin VARCHAR(255), Status VARCHAR(255), LastModifiedDate DATETIME, AccountId VARCHAR(18), ContactId VARCHAR(18), IsClosed BOOLEAN, Subject VARCHAR(255), Type VARCHAR(255), IsEscalated BOOLEAN, OwnerId VARCHAR(18), CreatedDate DATETIME, CaseNumber VARCHAR(30), ClosedDate DATETIME) as select t.$1, t.$2, t.$3, TO_TIMESTAMP(t.$4, 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:MI:ss.FF3Z'), t.$5, t.$6, t.$7, t.$8, t.$9, t.$10, t.$11, TO_TIMESTAMP(t.$12, 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:MI:ss.FF3Z'), t.$13, TO_TIMESTAMP(t.$14, 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:MI:ss.FF3Z') from @QOCDpCase t;
However, Sync Out Connector provides the capability to load the historical data from Salesforce. In addition, also keep the data fresh by capturing incremental loads from many Salesforce objects.
Refresh Modes:
Refresh Modes:
Incremental Sync:Update records to match changes in the Salesforce object since the previous sync. However, only changes incudes, the sync runs faster.
Periodic Full Sync: Sync records incrementally and periodically overwrite all records with records in the Salesforce object. Because of this mode ,prevent the data drift that can occur over time with incremental sync
Full Sync: Overwrite all records with records in the Salesforce object. Because all data is included, the sync can take longer. Use this mode with Salesforce objects that perform hard deletes on records or that contain formula fields
