Database Connectors
Use these connectors to sync data from your external database services to Salesforce Data Pipelines.
| Connector Name | Authorization Options/Auth Types | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Athena Connection |
|
For Root authentication, the connector uses AwsRootKeys for the AuthSchema value. For granular access to AWS data, use IAM authentication, setting up IAM users and roles in AWS. |
| Amazon RDS Connection (Oracle) | Username and password | Available connectors:
|
| Amazon Redshift Connection | Username and password | Before you create an Amazon Redshift connection, make sure that the Redshift cluster that you’re connecting to is SSL enabled. |
| Databricks Connection | Personal access token (PAT) | M2M (OAuth) is scheduled for Winter '26 release. |
| Google BigQuery Standard SQL Connection | Private key and client email | Use the Google BigQuery for Legacy SQL Connection instead of this connector if using legacy SQL. |
| Google BigQuery for Legacy SQL Connection | Private key and client email | Use the Google BigQuery Standard SQL Connection instead of this connector if using standard SQL or when querying partitioned tables. |
| Google Cloud Spanner Connection | Private key and client email | |
| Heroku Postgres Connection | Username and password | |
| Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics Connection | Azure DW JDBC username and password | |
| Microsoft Azure SQL Database Connection | Username and password | To connect to Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics or a dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW), add a Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics Connection instead of this one. |
| SAP HANA Cloud Connection | Username and password | There are two connector options, this SAP HANA Cloud Connection and the legacy SAP HANA Connection. |
| Snowflake Connection |
|
To use the Snowflake connector with an OAuth connection, you must configure Snowflake, Salesforce, Data Pipelines, and an external OAuth authorization server. You can’t use a custom authorization provider. |
| Snowflake VPC Connection |
|
To use the Snowflake VPC connector, in Setup, configure an outbound network connection, external credential, and named credential. This connector supports OAuth 2.0 for authentication, which requires additional setup steps in Snowflake and the Salesforce credentials. You must configure your Snowflake for Private Link. |
| Zendesk Connection | Username and password |
