# Salesforce Data Pipelines

Securely access your Amazon Redshift data by using a virtual private connection. Take advantage of OAuth functionality in your Microsoft Azure SQL Database connection.

- **[Securely Connect Your Private Redshift Data to CRM Analytics](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_sdp_integrate_redshift_vpc.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Integrate data from your private Amazon Redshift data warehouse into Salesforce Data Pipelines. Use a virtual private connection (VPC) to make sure that all data transfer happens over an internal network, bypassing the public internet for enhanced security and compliance.
- **[Use OAuth Security with Your Microsoft Azure SQL Database Connection](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_sdp_integrate_azure_oauth.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Increase data security by connecting to Microsoft Azure SQL Database using OAuth 2.0 authentication. You can now provide Azure authentication values directly, eliminating the need for a separate external authentication provider setup.
- **[Upgrade to OAuth Security for Your Salesforce External Connections](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_sdp_integrate_salesforce_external_oauth.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Increase data security by using OAuth 2.0 authentication with your Salesforce external input and output connectors. The SOAP `login()` API isn't supported after v64. To maintain data sync, you must upgrade all existing Salesforce external connections to use OAuth before the Winter ‘27 release.
- **[Accelerate Data Updates Using Unique IDs for External Objects](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_sdp_integrate_user_primary_key_external.htm&release=260&type=5)**  
    Now you can specify an external object field as a unique ID to function as a primary key for that object. Use defined primary keys to update massive datasets in minutes by only processing changed records. For example, a nightly sync for a two-billion-row sales transaction object now processes only the 500,000 new or changed records instead of the entire dataset.
