SQL Server Data Integration with Skyvia

In today’s business landscape, data integration plays a crucial role in achieving success. Business analysts rely on integrated data from various sources, such as relational databases and cloud CRMs, to make informed decisions. With numerous data integration solutions available, one service stands out – Skyvia.

Skyvia is a cloud-based data integration service that allows seamless integration of data from cloud CRMs and different relational databases. It is an online solution that can be accessed through any browser. Skyvia offers powerful ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools for data import, export, replication, and synchronization for SQL Server and other databases and cloud CRMs.

One of the key features of Skyvia is its data import tools, which enable users to load data from various sources into SQL Server and SQL Azure. Skyvia supports popular cloud CRMs like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, as well as databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. It even allows for data migration from SQL Server to other databases and cloud CRMs.

Additionally, Skyvia supports the import of CSV files, whether uploaded manually or stored on cloud file storage services like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, or FTP servers. This flexibility ensures that data from diverse sources can be seamlessly integrated into SQL Server.

When data import is not enough, Skyvia offers bidirectional data synchronization. This powerful tool allows users to synchronize SQL Server data with other databases and cloud CRMs. Skyvia tracks data changes in synchronized data storages, creating additional tracking tables and triggers in SQL Server databases and other relational databases. This enables synchronization of only the changed data, ensuring efficient and accurate data integration.

One of the standout features of Skyvia is its ability to map records by their primary key values, even if the sources have different primary key structures. This eliminates the need for additional columns or changes to the data structure, making data synchronization hassle-free. The only requirement for synchronization is that primary keys must be autogenerated.

Skyvia also supports powerful mapping mechanisms, allowing users to synchronize data with completely different structures. It provides support for complex mathematical and string expressions when mapping data, using lookups, and more. Users can even split data from a single CSV file or source table into multiple related target tables, while preserving data relations. Alternatively, data from several source CSV files or tables can be loaded into several related target tables, with Skyvia automatically building corresponding relations between the target data.

For users who frequently work with cloud CRM data, native CRM data reporting and analysis tools may not be sufficient. Fortunately, there is a vast set of professional data analysis and reporting tools available for SQL Server. With Skyvia, users can quickly copy their cloud CRM data to an SQL Server database and leverage the power of SQL Server tools for data analysis and reporting.

Skyvia’s data replication tools enable users to copy cloud CRM data to SQL Server or other databases without the need for custom mapping. Users simply need to specify the columns to copy data from, and the target database tables will be created automatically. Powerful filtering settings are available to replicate only the necessary records.

Furthermore, Skyvia provides the capability to export data from SQL Server (including SQL Azure) and other databases and cloud CRMs to CSV files. These files can be downloaded manually or loaded to cloud file storages or FTP servers. For example, users can backup SQL Azure data to Dropbox using the export feature.

Automation is a key aspect of data integration, and Skyvia offers the ability to schedule any data integration operation for automatic execution. This allows users to automate SQL Azure data backup or data synchronization. Once configured, the scheduled operations run automatically, providing a seamless and efficient data integration experience.

Currently, registration and usage of Skyvia are completely free, allowing users to try it out and determine if its data migration and integration tools are suitable for their needs. To register on Skyvia, visit the following link: [insert registration link]
