Nearly all of my prior database experience comes from working in Salesforce. I've built lots of custom objects, apps, flows, and have written some Apex.

But I have this one little project requiring MS Access now. It's been really frustrating but I'm making progress. I guess Salesforce spoiled me. Functionality I took for granted in Salesforce, I have to implement from scratch in Access with unwieldy SQL statements and VBA. #salesforce #MSAccess #database

Amy Siskind: “Now it makes sense: another billionaire fanboy of Trump bought Time Magazine. The new owner is Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce. He has been pushing Trump forever. This is why people are losing trust in our media. ”

The traditional ETL-Process consist of Extract-Transform-Load. But in tools like Data Cloud from Salesforce there is now the Zero-ETL technology integrated: Instead of requiring these 3 traditional steps, data should now flow seamlessly between different systems.
