Hi,
I created a quick ODBC connection using salesforce generic ODBC driver for my universe. I can see the salesforce tables and fields. I also saw an option for Sales force SIMBA ODBC driver for connection, but i am not sure if its a good idea to create direct connection to a salesforce instance using generic salesforce ODBC driver and if someone knows of any pros and cons associated to it. Following is what i am trying to understand:
1- Pros and cons of direct connection to salesforce instance ( is there is any limitation in terms of any data set or tables or fields that we cannot see using the generic ODBC connection approach?)
2- Difference between the usage of direct salesforce ODBC connector VS Simba salesforce connector ? Under whhat circumstances would we use SIMBA connector over generic Salesforce ODBC ?
Thanks,
Sheikh
