Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for associating a record with an account from an on-demand database system. These mechanisms and methods for associating a record with an account from an on-demand database system can enable improved synchronization between an on-demand database system and a software element separate from the on-demand database system, etc.
Claims21
A computer program product embodied on a tangible computer readable medium, comprising:
- computer code for identifying a record from a first source;
- computer code for identifying a first aspect of the record from the first source;
- computer code for matching the first aspect of the record from the first source with a first aspect of a record from an on-demand database system;
- computer code for identifying a second aspect of the record from the first source;
- computer code for matching the second aspect of the record from the first source with a second aspect of the record from the on-demand database system;
- and
- computer code for associating the record from the first source with the record from the on-demand database system, based on the matching of the first aspect and the matching of the second aspect.
A method, comprising:
- identifying a record from a first source;
- identifying a first aspect of the record from the first source;
- matching the first aspect of the record from the first source with a first aspect of a record from an on-demand database system;
- identifying a second aspect of the record from the first source;
- matching the second aspect of the record from the first source with second aspect of the record from the on-demand database system;
- and
- associating the record from the first source with the record from the on-demand database system, based on the matching of the first aspect and the matching of the second aspect.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor for:
- identifying a record from a first source;
- identifying a first aspect of the record from the first source;
- matching the first aspect of the record from the first source with a first aspect of a record from an on-demand database system;
- identifying a second aspect of the record from the first source:
- matching the second aspect of the record from the first source with a second aspect of the record from the on-demand database system;
- and
- associating the record from the first source with the record from the on-demand database system, based on the matching of the first aspect and the matching of the second aspect.
A method for transmitting code for use multi-tenant database system on a transmission medium, the method comprising:
- transmitting code for identifying a record from a first source;
- transmitting code for identifying a first aspect of the record from the first source;
- transmitting code for matching the first aspect of the record from the first source with a first aspect of a record from an on-demand database system;
- transmitting code for identifying a second aspect of the record from the first source;
- transmitting code for matching the second aspect of the record from the first source with a second aspect of the record from the on-demand database system;
- and
- transmitting code for associating the record from the first source with the record from the on-demand database system, based on the matching of the first aspect and the matching of the second aspect.
