Data Loader vs. InfiniDB vs. RazorSQL vs. Salesforce Data Loader Comparison Chart

InfiniDB is a column-store DBMS optimized for OLAP workloads. It has a distributed architecture to support Massive Paralllel Processing (MPP). It uses MySQL as its front-end such that users familiar with MySQL can quickly migrate to InfiniDB. Due to this fact, users can connect to InfiniDB using any MySQL connector. InfiniDB applies MVCC to do concurrency control. It uses term System Change Number (SCN) to indicate a version of the system. In its Block Resolution Manager (BRM), it utilizes three structures, version buffer, version substitution structure, and version buffer block manager, to manage multiple versions. InfiniDB applies deadlock detection to resolve conflicts. InfiniDB uses MySQL as its front-end and supports all MySQL syntaxes, including foreign keys. InfiniDB is a columnar DBMS.

Data Loader is a client application for the bulk import or export of data. Use it to insert, update, delete, or export Salesforce records. When importing data, Data Loader reads, extracts, and loads data from comma-separated values (CSV) files or from a database connection. When exporting data, it outputs CSV files. User interface—When you use the user interface, you work interactively to specify the configuration parameters, CSV files used for import and export, and the field mappings that map the field names in your import file with the field names in Salesforce. Drag-and-drop field mapping. Support for all objects, including custom objects.
