Limiting an SQL Query from values in a salesforce Table
Hi All,
I am trying to load a table from an ODBC database but only bring in the values from a salesforce table I have loaded in .....
I have a column in the Salesforce table called "job Number" (roughly 100k job numbers) I have been told that is too much for a keylist.
The ODBC table has millions of job numbers
I want to be able to run the ODBC SQL query to only bring back the job numbers in the Salesforce table
The keylist way meant I used applied steps and brought in the Saleforce table then removed all other columns, then created a new column "'"&[Job Numbers]&"'" then combined to create the keylist... then in the SQL I wrote
Select
job number,
visit report,
visit number,
status
from database.table2
where job number IN ("'"&[keylist]&"'")
it works fine for a small number but affects performance with larger data sets ..... I am hoping I have explained this well, I really could do with a more efficiant way

Hi v-frfei_msft,
I usually write in the SQL in this advanced section but how would i reference the Salesforce table?
Are you thinking a EXISTS SQL?
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE condition);Is it possible to reference a Salesforce Object in this way?
