Abstract
A database system provides automatic synchronization from one or more databases to a table. The synchronized portion of each source database table is periodically imported into a corresponding portion of a destination database table. For each synchronized field in the table with data from multiple source databases, one of the source databases is set as a primary source, which determines the data type and field configuration of the field. Data from secondary sources are cast to the data type established by the primary source and represented using the primary source's field configuration. The source database table may also include data that is not synchronized with the destination database table. Similarly, the destination database table may be enriched with data that is not included in the source database table.
