UploadContentDocument

Uploads a document to Salesforce Content and associates it with relevant records.

Uploading single files or single folders

To upload a single ContentDocument, specify the FullPath:
EXEC UploadContentDocument FullPath = 'C:\\csv samples\\mycsvfile.csv'
To upload all Content Documents in a single folder, use FolderPath:
EXEC UploadContentDocument FolderPath = 'C:\\csv samples'
For Base64 data, you need to specify the Base64Data, Title, and FileExtension:
EXEC UploadContentDocument Base64Data = 'byBib2Jl', Title = 't', FileExtension = 'txt'

Uploading multi-valued inputs

There are various ways to upload multiple files or folders. One way is to use a temporary table, #TEMP: First insert values into temporary tables. For example:
INSERT INTO ContentDocument#TEMP (FolderPath) VALUES ('C:\\TestImages')
INSERT INTO ContentDocument#TEMP (FolderPath) VALUES ('C:\\csv samples')
This inserts the values into a table in memory.

Then reference that same table when executing the stored procedure:

EXEC UploadContentDocument ContentDocumentTempTable = 'ContentDocument#TEMP'
This approach has the advantage of avoiding arbitrary parameters as inputs to the stored procedure. Alternatively, you can specify multiple FullPaths using a #TEMP table or use multiple Base64 data entries.
