Why teams connect Box and Exasol
Bridge query-ready tables and stored files: Exasol and Box keep the same records in step, in real time, in both directions.
Exasol keeps the tables and query results a business reports on; Box keeps the raw files, documents, and objects that the same business produces and shares. The two overlap wherever a dataset lives as both — a file dropped in Box that has to become rows in Exasol, or a result in Exasol that people downstream need back as a file in Box. When that overlap is bridged by manual export and import or an overnight job, one side spends the day working from a stale copy.
Stacksync syncs Users and roles, Schemas, Tables, Views in Exasol with Users, Groups, Tasks, Events in Box field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.
Common use cases
- 01 Keep dimension tables such as customers and products aligned with the systems of record.
- 02 Load CRM and ERP records into Exasol tables on a schedule so analysts query fresh operational data.
- 03 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.
- 04 Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.
Common sync patterns
Where Box holds the file inventory: make it queryable
The catalog of documents, owners, and folders in Box appears as Users and roles, Schemas, Tables, Views in Exasol, so file metadata can be joined against the rest of your data and reported on.
Where Exasol computes the labels: push them onto the files
Classifications, scores, or status derived in Exasol are written back onto the matching Users, Groups, Tasks, Events in Box as metadata or tags, so the file store reflects what analytics decided.
Where Box receives the raw files: land them as query-ready rows
Files and exports that arrive in Box are parsed into Users and roles, Schemas, Tables, Views in Exasol as they land, so analysts query current data instead of waiting on the next scheduled load.
What you can sync between Box and Exasol
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.
| Box objects | Exasol objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. | Views Read-only query surfaces often used as curated sources for reverse ETL. | Groups is specific to Box and Views to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. | Virtual schemas Federated views over external sources; useful for deciding what needs physical replication. | Tasks is specific to Box and Virtual schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Events Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds. | UDF scripts In-database functions that can transform synced data after load. | Events is specific to Box and UDF scripts to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. | Users and roles Grant read/write access for the dedicated integration account. | Files is specific to Box and Users and roles to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. | Schemas Namespaces that group the tables a sync reads from or writes into. | Folders is specific to Box and Schemas to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. | Tables Primary sync target; columnar relational tables written with standard SQL. | Metadata is specific to Box and Tables to Exasol — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Box and Exasol
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.
Box Exasol Sub-second propagation
DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Exasol as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Exasol Box Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Exasol for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with timestamp or key columns.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
- Exasol: No API quota; concurrency is bounded by cluster resources and session limits.

How the Box and Exasol connectors work
Box
- Integration surface
- REST API (api.box.com/2.0), plus the Events API and V2 Webhooks
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 for user-delegated access, or server-to-server auth via JWT (RSA keypair) or Client Credentials Grant (CCG) using a Box app; short-lived developer tokens for testing
- Change detection
- V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed

FAQ
Box and Exasol integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Box and Exasol: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Box's Groups and Tasks), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Box: REST API (api.box.com/2.0), plus the Events API and V2 Webhooks. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for user-delegated access, or server-to-server auth via JWT (RSA keypair) or Client Credentials Grant (CCG) using a Box app; short-lived developer tokens for testing. Exasol: SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers and a WebSocket-based client protocol. Authentication: Database credentials (username and password). Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Exasol: Virtual schemas let Exasol query external sources in place, which affects whether data needs to be physically synced at all. Box: Server-auth apps (JWT or CCG) act through a service account and only see content that account owns or is collaborated on, unless enterprise as-user or admin scopes are granted. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Box and Exasol without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Box and Exasol records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Box and Exasol connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Box–Exasol integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Box and Exasol. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
