SQL Compliance

The CData ODBC Driver for Salesforce supports several operations on data, including querying, deleting, modifying, and inserting.

SELECT Statements

See SELECT Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

See Data Model for information on the capabilities of the Salesforce API.

See INSERT Statements for a syntax reference and examples, as well as retrieving the new records' Ids.

The primary key Id is required to update a record. See UPDATE Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

An UPSERT updates a record if it exists and inserts the record if it does not. See UPSERT Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

The primary key Id is required to delete a record. See DELETE Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

See CREATE TABLE Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

See DROP TABLE Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

See ALTER TABLE Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

GETDELETED statements return the Ids of deleted records. See GETDELETED Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

CACHE statements allow granular control over the driver's caching functionality. For a syntax reference and examples, see CACHE Statements.

For more information on the caching feature, see Caching Data.

Use EXECUTE or EXEC statements to execute stored procedures. See EXECUTE Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

Table and column names are considered identifier names; as such, they are restricted to the following characters: [A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _:@].
To use a table or column name with characters not listed above, the name must be quoted using square brackets ([name]) in any SQL statement.
Parameter names can optionally start with the @ symbol (e.g., @p1 or @CustomerName) and cannot be quoted.
Strings must be quoted using single quotes (e.g., 'John Doe').
