====== BULK EXPORT TO DATABASE ======
Category: Export / Database\\

\\ 
=====Description=====
This action performs fast export into a database table using the native bulk load 
capabilities of the target database. The action is intended for exporting large volumes of data (e.g. millions of rows or more) and may not be efficient on small datasets (e.g. with a few hundred of rows).

Currently, the following database types are supported:
^ Database type  ^ Driver type  ^
| BigQuery     | ODBC  |
| Microsoft SQL Server   | Native  |
| Oracle (experimental) | Native  |
| PostgreSQL     | Native  |
| Snowflake    | Native / ODBC  |

A configured connector of the appropriate type is required.
