Connector Improvement: Connector SDK - Disable Fivetran Naming Conventions

Answered

Currently, the Fivetran connector SDK applies a default naming convention to all tables and columns that are loaded into a destination. For example, MyTable gets renamed to MY_TABLE, and MyColumn get renamed to MY_COLUMN. It would be nice to have the option to disable this behavior so that we are able to keep the table and column names in our destination close to the table and column names that exist in our source system.

    Hi Nathan,

    Thank you so much for sharing your suggestion to improve the Connector SDK by allowing users to disable Fivetran naming conventions. We appreciate you taking the time to contribute your ideas.

    I've added your request to our feature improvements backlog for further review by our team. To help us better understand the importance of this feature can you share more about the types of names changes that have been causing problems and more about the problems you have encountered?

    We’ll keep this thread updated with any progress or changes regarding this feature request.

    Thanks again for reaching out!

    Best regards,

    Currently, Fivetran is not allowing in keeping the column headers same as the source while using connector SDK this is resulting in duplicate columns being created causing the inconsistency in the data flow from source to staging & to the consumption layer. This has become a major blocker in migrating the ingestions to fivetran. Request you please prioritize this feature to production.
