What third-party tools are people using to extra data from NetSuite to external storage (CSV/SQL/Sharepoint). With Netsuite offline for 2 hours yesterday we are looking for a read-only solution for us staff to search data.

Do you have ODBC access?
p
No, used it before but painfully slow.

I built a tool out for my clients using ODBC, which replicates every table, every schema change, all the data, but the primary purpose of this was a full backup (this is not a commercial product btw)

Just adding saved search replication aswell which is better for reporting in some instances. I'd recommend you look at a saved search option if its specific data you want staff to search on.
A quick and dirty method would be to spit out the saved search csv's on a schedule.

@dynamicl looks impressive. Good work!

Thanks, building in saved search and report replication as we speak, so can use things like multi-currency trial balance data in PowerBI etc. NS don't make any of it easy, but its all possible one way or another 🙂 . I was using SSIS originally but the NS schema constantly changes so had constant issues, everything is done dynamically in C# now.

We are trying to use cdata to replicate the data very similar use case as yours but it is painfully slow
If you find a way that is faster please post here 🙂

Do you have SuiteAnalytics Connect? If so, you can pull around 10 tables in parallel and I see a speed around 1m records every 5 mins (approx).
