ImportDefinition
Defines a reusable pattern of import options. This table does not support inserts.
Table-Specific Information
Select
The driver uses the Salesforce Marketing Cloud APIs to process the following WHERE clause operators for all but date-time values: =, !=, <>, >, >=, <, <=, IN. For date-time values, only > and < are supported. The driver processes other filters client-side within the driver. You can turn off the client-side execution of the query by setting SupportEnhancedSQL to false in which case any search criteria that refer to other columns will cause an error.
For example, the following (but not only) queries are processed server side:
SELECT * FROM ImportDefinition SELECT * FROM ImportDefinition WHERE ObjectID = 'nzxcaslkjd-123' SELECT * FROM ImportDefinition WHERE ObjectID IN ('nzxcaslkjd-123', 'nzxcaslkjd-456') SELECT * FROM ImportDefinition WHERE CreatedDate > '2017/01/25'
Update
You must specify the ObjectId in the WHERE clause when executing an update against this table.
UPDATE ImportDefinition SET Name='Changed' WHERE ObjectId='nzxcaslkjd-123'
Delete
You must specify the ObjectId in the WHERE clause when executing a delete against this table.
DELETE FROM ImportDefinition WHERE ObjectId='nzxcaslkjd-123'
