Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Salesforce

Treat Salesforce like part of your database: its records live in IBM Db2 as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in IBM Db2, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities from Salesforce into Sequences, Tablespaces, Databases, Schemas in IBM Db2 with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Salesforce with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • Replicate Db2 tables into a cloud warehouse continuously instead of nightly batch extracts.
  • Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Salesforce arrive as row changes in IBM Db2, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Salesforce become tables in IBM Db2 you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to IBM Db2 sync onto the matching records in Salesforce, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 and Salesforce

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM Db2 objects Salesforce objects
Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP.
Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows.
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse.

How the IBM Db2 and Salesforce connectors work

IBM Db2

Integration surface
SQL via JDBC/ODBC/CLI drivers; optional REST endpoints in some editions
Authentication
Database credentials, typically backed by OS or LDAP authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed; otherwise polling on timestamp or audit columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings

Salesforce

Integration surface
REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs
Authentication
OAuth login via a Salesforce user (browser-based authorization flow); requires "API Enabled" permission for polling mode, plus "Author Apex" and "Customize Application" OR "Modify All Data" for trigger mode
Change detection
Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting)
Capabilities

Rate limits
Daily API request allocations vary by edition and license count.
