Why teams connect Gainsight and Jdbc

Mirror Gainsight's data into Jdbc so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Gainsight through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Jdbc.

Stacksync mirrors Relationship, CTA (Call to Action), Scorecard Fact, Timeline Activity from Gainsight into Schemas & catalogs, Stored procedures & functions, Sequences, Tables in Jdbc and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Gainsight, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Write records from a CRM, ERP, or another app back into database tables via SQL INSERT and UPDATE so the database stays current.
  • 04 Connect a niche or legacy RDBMS that has no dedicated Stacksync connector but ships a JDBC driver, using its JDBC URL to sync it two-way.

Common sync patterns

Read Gainsight with a query

Records from Gainsight are ordinary rows in Jdbc; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Gainsight from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Jdbc and Stacksync propagates the change into Gainsight, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Gainsight arrive as row changes in Jdbc, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Gainsight and Jdbc

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.

Gainsight objects Jdbc objects How this pairing syncs
Task and Playbook Cockpit tasks generated from CTAs and playbooks; synced with Jira or Asana so execution happens in the team's own tool. Schemas & catalogs Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema/catalog and lists its objects from the JDBC metadata to build the sync. Task and Playbook is specific to Gainsight and Schemas & catalogs to Jdbc — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Objects Org-specific MDA tables with the __gc suffix; discoverable via the Describe API so field mappings can be generated automatically. Stored procedures & functions Server-side routines callable via JDBC CallableStatement; invoked for custom read or write logic when a table-level mapping is not enough. Custom Objects is specific to Gainsight and Stored procedures & functions to Jdbc — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Sequences Server-generated identity values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose keys are assigned by the database rather than the source system. Company is specific to Gainsight and Sequences to Jdbc — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Tables The base relational tables in the target database; synced two-way as rows over SQL, with each table's primary key driving upserts and row-level updates. Person (People) is specific to Gainsight and Tables to Jdbc — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Views Stored SELECT queries exposed like tables; read-only projections synced outbound when raw base tables should not be exposed downstream. Relationship is specific to Gainsight and Views to Jdbc — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Columns Per-table fields with data types, nullability, and defaults; enumerated via DatabaseMetaData.getColumns to auto-generate and type-check field mappings. CTA (Call to Action) is specific to Gainsight and Columns to Jdbc — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gainsight and Jdbc

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.

Gainsight Jdbc Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

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

Jdbc Gainsight Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Jdbc for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
  • Jdbc: No SaaS-style request quota. Throughput is bounded by the target database's max connections and connection-pool size, plus the CPU and I/O it shares with production queries, so heavy syncs can contend with live workloads.

How the Gainsight and Jdbc connectors work

Gainsight

Integration surface
REST APIs (per-object) and asynchronous Bulk REST API
Authentication
API access key passed in the 'accesskey' request header (non-expiring), generated by a Gainsight admin; M2M OAuth (Client ID/Secret) is also supported
Change detection
Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object; Rules Engine Real-Time Rules can optionally push specific object events (e.g., a Company stage change) to an external endpoint

Jdbc

Integration surface
JDBC API (java.sql / javax.sql) executing SQL through a JDBC driver, typically a pure-Java Type 4 driver; reaches any relational database with a driver - PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, and others - via a JDBC URL such as jdbc:postgresql://host:5432/db.
Authentication
A database user's username and password supplied in the JDBC connection (DriverManager or a DataSource), typically over a TLS/SSL-encrypted connection. Some drivers add Kerberos, integrated Windows auth, or cloud IAM-token auth, but the available methods depend on the target database and its driver.
Change detection
No native change feed. Incremental sync polls a cursor column - an updated_at timestamp or an auto-incrementing key - to pull new and changed rows; detecting deletes needs soft-delete flags or database triggers writing to a shadow table. No webhooks.
Capabilities

Rate limits
No SaaS-style request quota. Throughput is bounded by the target database's max connections and connection-pool size, plus the CPU and I/O it shares with production queries, so heavy syncs can contend with live workloads.
