Editor

The Sling Data Platform Editor is a powerful tool for creating and editing replications. It allows you to visually build replications by incorporating an IDE like experience:

• Live compilation of replications

• Interactive visual editor for building replications

• Auto-complete for source and target objects

• Syntax highlighting for SQL and Sling

• Validation for your replications

Referring to Query Files

In order to refer to query files (to avoid putting large SQL text in your replication YAML), you can specify query files that exist in your project. Always use the relative path to the file from the root of your project. For example, the file my_long_query.sql below is in folder queries in the root:

source: MY_SOURCE
target: MY_TARGET

streams:
  my_custom_stream:
    sql: 'file://queries/my_long_query.sql'
