Why teams connect SQL Server and Starburst Enterprise

Connect SQL Server and Starburst Enterprise with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want SQL Server's rows in Starburst Enterprise, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in SQL Server where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in SQL Server sync into Starburst Enterprise in real time, and result tables in Starburst Enterprise sync back into SQL Server, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts
  • Read federated views that join warehouse, lake, and database tables, then sync the result into operational tools like a CRM
  • Bi-directional sync between SQL Server rows and CRM objects so .NET line-of-business apps and sales tools share one dataset
  • Expose SaaS records as SQL Server tables that existing SSRS reports and internal apps can query

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Starburst Enterprise sync into SQL Server, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Starburst Enterprise and keep SQL Server focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between SQL Server and Starburst Enterprise

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.

SQL Server objects Starburst Enterprise objects
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them.
Columns Field-level mapping targets with T-SQL types. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper.
CDC Change Tables System-populated tables holding captured inserts, updates, and deletes for consumers. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types.
Stored Procedures T-SQL logic that can validate or post-process synced rows. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source.

How the SQL Server and Starburst Enterprise connectors work

SQL Server

Integration surface
SQL over the TDS wire protocol (Tabular Data Stream), via ODBC/JDBC/ADO.NET drivers
Authentication
Database credentials entered as a connection string or as parameters (host/user/password) in the Create New Sync page
Change detection
SQL Server Native Change Data Capture (CDC); a DBA runs a one-time setup script with sysadmin privileges to enable CDC and create Stacksync wrapper procedures
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance resources, licensing tier, and connection limits
SQL Server setup guide

Starburst Enterprise

Integration surface
ANSI SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers and the Trino client REST protocol
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: username/password, LDAP, OAuth 2.0, or Kerberos
Change detection
Query-based polling; Starburst is a query engine and exposes no change log of its own
Capabilities

Rate limits
Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas
