Veeva CRM to Azure Synapse Integration

How Datrise loads Veeva CRM into Azure Synapse

Datrise syncs Veeva CRM's accounts, calls, samples, territories, consents, and medical inquiries into Azure Synapse as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in NVARCHAR(MAX) JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as datetime2.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses COPY into staging, then a MERGE on stable id, so re-runs update only what changed. Hash distribution on the join id with date partitioning on facts. Synapse dedicated pools reward good hash-distribution choices, so Datrise distributes on entity ids to avoid data-movement-heavy joins.

Ideal for Azure analytics estates feeding Power BI.
