5.16Dates

Typical Salesforce date/date-time fields include:

CreatedDate
LastModifiedDate
CloseDate

Example:

SELECT Id, Name, LastModifiedDate
FROM Account
WHERE LastModifiedDate >= 2026-08-01T00:00:00Z

A synchronization job commonly looks like:

Give me everything modified
since my previous successful run.

Conceptually:

WHERE LastModifiedDate > :lastSyncTime

This leads to incremental synchronization.
