    Features

    Support for Salesforce Bulk API for Bulk Load

    Uses the Salesforce Bulk API for inserts, updates, and deletes based on the configurable values of the Bulk Load Threshold connection option. This allows users to work with large sets of data, connecting to more data faster. 

    Support for Salesforce Bulk API for Bulk Fetch

    Uses the Salesforce Bulk API while performing selects based on the configurable values of the Bulk Fetch Threshold connection option. This allows users to fetch very large result set faster.

    Built-in Caching

    Implement a client-side data cache on a per-table basis, as opposed to results from specific queries. Caching data on a table level allows the caches to be queried, filtered, and sorted in other queries.

    OAUTH 2.0 Support

    Authenticate users without providing user credentials using secure OAUTH 2.0 protocol, thus eliminating the risk of unauthorized access.

    Security and Compliance

    Protect customer-sensitive data elements (including remote credential or database pairings stored) with encryption, both at rest (AES-256) and in transit (SSL/TLS).  

    Cross-platform Support

    Use one ODBC driver for all versions of SQL across all platforms - Unix / Linux, AIX, Solaris, Windows and HP-UX - to maximize development resources.
