Scheduling your Data Pulls

You can start retrieving the data now or at a specific time according to your choice. You can specify the starting date and end date of data retrieval. By default, starting date is set to present date and end date is set to the latest data available.

You can also schedule the data pull in order to get the latest data from your Database at a certain time interval - daily, weekly or monthly.

On every data pull from your Database, you also have an option to either replace the older data or combine with older data.

On choosing Combine with older data option, you will get an option to choose a unique sequence column. Using this column, on refresh, Mammoth will pick up all the rows that have greater value in this column than the previous data pull.
