CData Cmdlets for Salesforce

Overview

The CData Cmdlets PowerShell Module for Salesforce allows developers to write PowerShell scripts with connectivity to Salesforce. The cmdlets abstract the underlying data source into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update data. The representation of Salesforce as a relational database gives the cmdlets a uniform interface and also enables you to execute SQL to Salesforce.

Key Features

• Real-time access to Salesforce data in Windows PowerShell, with comprehensive support for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
• Pipe row objects directly from Salesforce into other cmdlets as input.
• Streamlined installation via the Powershell Gallery.
