Why teams connect DuckDB and Success Factors

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: DuckDB and Success Factors share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Success Factors is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. DuckDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: EmpEmployment, EmpJob, EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) in Success Factors need to exist as queryable Attached databases, Database files, Schemas, Tables in DuckDB before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Attached databases, Database files, Schemas, Tables in DuckDB with EmpEmployment, EmpJob, EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) in Success Factors field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Success Factors typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push aggregates computed in DuckDB out to a CRM or business tools so analysis results reach operational systems.
  • 02 Use DuckDB as a transform step: read synced Parquet exports, aggregate with SQL, and write results back to an operational database.
  • 03 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.
  • 04 Push new hires (PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob) into an ERP or payroll system so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual Integration Center exports.

Common sync patterns

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

EmpEmployment, EmpJob, EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) replicate into DuckDB where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Success Factors stay consistent in DuckDB, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between DuckDB and Success Factors

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.

DuckDB objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Database files is specific to DuckDB and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Schemas is specific to DuckDB and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Tables is specific to DuckDB and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) Org-structure master data (department, location, cost center, division); mastered elsewhere and written in, or read out to build org charts. Views is specific to DuckDB and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) is specific to DuckDB and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Attached databases is specific to DuckDB and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DuckDB and Success Factors

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.

DuckDB Success Factors Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls DuckDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling or full re-reads.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Success Factors through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Success Factors DuckDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • DuckDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.

Change detection
Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling); Intelligent Services can also push a fixed set of standard business events (e.g. Employee Hire) to a REST endpoint
Capabilities

Rate limits
OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
