SQL as Query Mode – Technical Documentation
Overview
In addition to the traditional Table Selection mode, the platform now supports SQL as Query mode for selected source connectors. This feature enables users to directly input custom SQL queries for more flexible and precise data extraction.
This feature is available during the integration pipeline setup's Source Connector configuration step (Step 1).
Supported Connectors
Azure SQL Server
AWS SQL Server
Oracle
Snowflake
Modes of Data Extraction
1. Table Selection
Users select one table from the connected database to extract data.
2. Query Mode
Users can input a custom SQL SELECT query to fetch data. This is ideal for:
Joining multiple tables
Filtering rows with WHERE conditions
Aggregating data using GROUP BY
Implementing business logic via subqueries
On selecting Query, an SQL editor field appears where users can enter a valid SQL query.
Validation ensures only read-only queries are accepted (e.g., no INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
