Why teams connect Jdbc and Sharepoint

Keep Jdbc and Sharepoint in step: a row in Jdbc for every file in Sharepoint, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in Jdbc says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Sharepoint holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Columns, Primary keys & indexes in Jdbc with Permissions and sharing, Site pages, Sites, Lists in Sharepoint bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Incrementally sync a high-volume table by polling an updated_at or auto-increment column, keeping a downstream store fresh without full reloads.
  • 03 Stream list and library changes through delta query and change-notification webhooks into a warehouse for audit, access-review, and reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync SharePoint List items with a database table so internal apps read and write structured records in SQL without calling the SharePoint API directly.

Common sync patterns

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in Jdbc write back to the matching file's metadata in Sharepoint, and metadata changed in Sharepoint updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.

Records that point at documents

Where a record in Jdbc references a file in Sharepoint, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Sharepoint become rows in Jdbc as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

What you can sync between Jdbc and Sharepoint

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.

Jdbc objects Sharepoint objects How this pairing syncs
Primary keys & indexes Key and index definitions read via DatabaseMetaData; the primary key is required for reliable upserts, and indexes on the cursor column keep incremental polling fast. Permissions and sharing Role assignments and sharing links on sites, list items, and drive items; read and written to manage access, requiring Sites.Manage.All or Sites.FullControl.All scopes. Primary keys & indexes is specific to Jdbc and Permissions and sharing to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Site pages Modern site pages via /sites/{id}/pages; read page content, layout, and metadata for indexing and content governance. Schemas & catalogs is specific to Jdbc and Site pages to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Sites SharePoint site collections and subsites via /sites; read site properties and discover the document libraries (drives) and lists each site contains, addressed by hostname and site path or site ID. Stored procedures & functions is specific to Jdbc and Sites to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Server-generated identity values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose keys are assigned by the database rather than the source system. Lists Custom lists and libraries via /sites/{id}/lists; create and read lists along with their columns and content types so a target system can mirror or provision list definitions. Sequences is specific to Jdbc and Lists to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. List items Rows in a SharePoint list via /lists/{id}/items with a fields facet of column values; full create, read, update, and delete, synced two-way with database rows. Tables is specific to Jdbc and List items to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Stored SELECT queries exposed like tables; read-only projections synced outbound when raw base tables should not be exposed downstream. Drive items (document libraries) Files and folders in a library's drive via /drives and /drive/root; upload, download, move, delete, and read per-item metadata, synced two-way with a store. Views is specific to Jdbc and Drive items (document libraries) to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jdbc and Sharepoint

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.

Jdbc Sharepoint 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 Sharepoint through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sharepoint Jdbc Sub-second propagation

DetectionSharepoint notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Sharepoint: SharePoint Online throttles per app, returning HTTP 429 (or 503) with a Retry-After header in seconds and IETF RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset headers; throttled requests still count toward limits, so clients honor the greater of Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset with exponential backoff.

How the Jdbc and Sharepoint connectors work

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.

Sharepoint

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph REST API (graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 and beta) covering SharePoint sites, lists, list items, columns, content types, and document-library drives and drive items; plus the classic SharePoint REST API (_api/web) and CSOM. Supports Graph JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Selected, Sites.Manage.All, or Sites.FullControl.All, plus Files.ReadWrite.All for drive content; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last deltaLink; change-notification subscriptions (push webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications for list and drive/root changes to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire. Classic SharePoint list webhooks are also available.
