Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Dun And Bradstreet

Treat Dun And Bradstreet like part of your database: its records live in Azure SQL Database as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Dun And Bradstreet is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Azure SQL Database, so Azure SQL Database always reflects the current state of Dun And Bradstreet — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

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 Azure SQL Database, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Common use cases

  • 01 Build target-account lists with Criteria Search and land the resulting DUNS plus firmographics in a database for outbound and TAM analysis.
  • 02 Poll D&B Monitoring notifications for a registered portfolio of key accounts and suppliers and update the CRM or warehouse record whenever a firmographic or risk score changes.
  • 03 Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.
  • 04 Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database and Dun And Bradstreet

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.

Azure SQL Database objects Dun And Bradstreet objects How this pairing syncs
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Identity Resolution (Match / cleanseMatch) Sends a company name and address and returns ranked candidate DUNS with confidence codes and a MatchGrade; read-only scored match, not an exact lookup. Rows and columns is specific to Azure SQL Database and Identity Resolution (Match / cleanseMatch) to Dun And Bradstreet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Criteria Search Query companies by firmographic criteria (industry, geography, size) and get back a list of D-U-N-S Numbers to enrich; read-only list building. Stored procedures is specific to Azure SQL Database and Criteria Search to Dun And Bradstreet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Monitoring Notifications Change notices for a registered portfolio of DUNS; read-only feed pulled from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days) or delivered as bundled push. Change tracking / CDC tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Monitoring Notifications to Dun And Bradstreet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Company Information (Data Block) Core firmographics for a D-U-N-S Number - legal name, addresses, industry codes, employees, sales, status. Retrieved read-only via the Enrich endpoint; blocks come in levels L1-L4. Tables is specific to Azure SQL Database and Company Information (Data Block) to Dun And Bradstreet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Principals & Contacts (Data Block) Company officers, executives, and contacts tied to a D-U-N-S Number; read-only enrichment used to populate CRM contact and account-owner fields. Views is specific to Azure SQL Database and Principals & Contacts (Data Block) to Dun And Bradstreet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Company Hierarchy & Connections (Family Tree) Parent, subsidiary, branch, and global-ultimate DUNS relationships; read-only, used to build account hierarchies and corporate-family rollups. Schemas is specific to Azure SQL Database and Company Hierarchy & Connections (Family Tree) to Dun And Bradstreet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure SQL Database and Dun And Bradstreet

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Azure SQL Database Dun And Bradstreet Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure SQL Database are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database.

DeliveryDun And Bradstreet does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Dun And Bradstreet's output flows back as field updates on the originating Azure SQL Database records.

Dun And Bradstreet Azure SQL Database Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dun And Bradstreet for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via D&B Monitoring - register a portfolio of DUNS and pull change notices from the notifications endpoint (retained ~60 days).

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure SQL Database as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
