For Snowflake projects, the Marketo Query connector is deprecated and can no longer be added to new pipelines. Use the Marketo Load connector instead, which supersedes this connector. Existing pipelines that use the Marketo Query connector will continue to work as expected.Databricks and Amazon Redshift projects should continue to use the Marketo Query connector.
The Marketo Query component uses the Connect and Configure parameters to create a table of Marketo data, which is then stored in your chosen data warehouse or cloud storage location. You do not need to use the Create Table component when using this connector, as each time the Marketo Query component runs, the target table is recreated, dropping any existing table of the same name. Once the component has run once, you can use transformation pipelines to transform your data to fit your business requirements. If the component requires access to a cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud), it will use credentials as follows:
  • If using Matillion Full SaaS: The component will use the cloud credentials associated with your environment to access resources.
  • If using Hybrid SaaS: By default the component will inherit the agent’s execution role (service account role). However, if there are cloud credentials associated with your environment, these will overwrite the role.
This component is potentially destructive. If the target table undergoes a change in structure, it will be recreated. Otherwise, the target table is truncated. Setting the load option Recreate Target Table to Off will prevent both recreation and truncation. Do not modify the target table structure manually.

  • Parameter: A JDBC parameter supported by the database driver. The available parameters are explained in the data model. Manual setup is not usually required, since sensible defaults are assumed.
  • Value: A value for the given parameter.
Click the Text Mode toggle at the bottom of the Connection Options dialog to open a multi-line editor that lets you add items in a single block. For more information, read Text mode. To use grid variables, select the Use Grid Variable checkbox at the bottom of the Connection Options dialog.

​
Configure

​
drop-down
required
  • Basic: This mode will build a query for you using settings from the Data Source, Data Selection, Data Source Filter, Combine Filters, and Limit parameters. In most cases, this mode will be sufficient.
  • Advanced: This mode will require you to write an SQL-like query to call data from the service you’re connecting to. The available fields and their descriptions are documented in the data model.
There are some special pseudo columns that can form part of a query filter, but are not returned as data. This is fully described in the data model.
​
code editor
required
Enter an SQL-like SELECT query to retrieve the data you want. This query must be written in the SQL accepted by your cloud data warehouse. Treat collections as table names, and fields as columns. Only available in Advanced mode.For more information, read the SELECT query documentation for your cloud data warehouse:
​
drop-down
required
Select a single data source to be extracted from the source system and loaded into a table in the destination. The source system defines the data sources available. Use multiple components to load multiple data sources.
​
object selector
required
Select the columns to fetch from the selected data source. Only available in Basic mode.To use grid variables, toggle Use Grid Variable on. For more information, read Grid variables.
​
column editor
Define one or more filter conditions that each row of data must meet to be included in the load.
  • Input Column: Select an input column. The available input columns vary depending upon the data source.
  • Qualifier:
    • Is: Compares the column to the value using the comparator.
    • Not: Reverses the effect of the comparison, so “Equals” becomes “Not equals”, “Less than” becomes “Greater than or equal to”, etc.
  • Comparator: Choose a method of comparing the column to the value. Possible comparators include: “Equal to”, “Greater than”, “Less than”, “Greater than or equal to”, “Less than or equal to”, “Like”, “Null”. Not all data sources support all comparators.
  • Value: The value to be compared.
Click the Text Mode toggle at the bottom of the dialog to open a multi-line editor. For more information, read Text mode.
​
drop-down
required
The data source filters you have defined can be combined using either And or Or logic. If And, then all filter conditions must be satisfied to load the data row. If Or, then only a single filter condition must be satisfied. The default is And.If you have only one filter, or no filters, this parameter is essentially ignored.
​
integer
Set a numeric value to limit the number of rows that are loaded. The default is an empty field, which will load all rows.

​
Destination

Select your cloud data warehouse.
​
drop-down
required
  • Standard: The data will be staged in your storage location before being loaded into a table. This is the only setting currently available.
​
object selector
Select one or more columns to use as the table’s primary key. If you select multiple columns, the component creates a composite primary key using the combination of the selected columns.Leave this blank to create the table without a primary key.

​
drop-down

Select a managed stage. The special value, [Custom], will create a stage “on the fly” for use solely within this component.
​
drop-down
required
Choose where the data is staged before being loaded into your Snowflake table using the drop-down menu.
  • Existing Amazon S3 Location: Activates the S3 Staging Area property, allowing users to specify a custom staging area on Amazon S3. The Stage Authentication property is also activated, letting users select a method of authenticating the data staging.
  • Existing Azure Blob Storage Location: Activates the Storage Account and Blob Container properties, allowing users to specify a custom staging location on Azure. The Stage Authentication property is also activated, letting users select a method of authenticating the data staging.
  • Existing Google Cloud Storage Location: Activates the Storage Integration and GCS Staging Area properties, allowing users to specify a custom staging area within Google Cloud Storage.
  • Snowflake Managed: Create and use a temporary internal stage on Snowflake for staging the data. This stage, along with the staged data, will cease to exist after loading is complete. This is the default setting.
​
drop-down
required
Select an authentication method for data staging. Only available when Stage Platform is set to either Existing Amazon S3 Location or Existing Azure Blob Storage Location.

Data model

The JDBC driver for this component models Marketo APIs as relational tables, views, and stored procedures, which are documented in the data model. You’ll also find API limitations and requirements. This connector also allows you to query system tables in Advanced mode. To see the available system tables in the data model, read the System Tables section of the data model. For more information about using system tables, read our System tables guide.
