Integrate connectivity to NetSuite data with wizards in IntelliJ.

The CData JDBC Driver for NetSuite enables you to access NetSuite as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to NetSuite data in IntelliJ.

About NetSuite Data Integration

CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from Oracle NetSuite. Customers use CData connectivity to:

Access all editions of NetSuite, including Standard, CRM, and OneWorld.
Connect with all versions of the SuiteTalk API (SOAP-based) and SuiteQL, which functions like SQL, enabling easier data querying and manipulation.
Access predefined and custom reports through support for Saved Searches.
Securely authenticate with Token-based and OAuth 2.0, ensuring compatibility and security for all use cases.
Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional actions like uploading or downloading files, attaching or detaching records or relationships, retrieving roles, getting extra table or column info, getting job results, and more.

Customers use CData solutions to access live NetSuite data from their preferred analytics tools, Power BI and Excel. They also use CData's solutions to integrate their NetSuite data into comprehensive databases and data warehouse using CData Sync directly or leveraging CData's compatibility with other applications like Azure Data Factory. CData also helps Oracle NetSuite customers easily write apps that can pull data from and push data to NetSuite, allowing organizations to integrate data from other sources with NetSuite.

Getting Started

Create a JBDC Data Source for NetSuite

Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to NetSuite data.

In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.
In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:
- JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.netsuite.jar, located in the installation directory.
- JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.netsuite.NetSuiteDriver from the list.
- Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:netsuite: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.
  
  The User and Password properties, under the Authentication section, must be set to valid NetSuite user credentials. In addition, the AccountId must be set to the ID of a company account that can be used by the specified User. The RoleId can be optionally specified to log in the user with limited permissions.
  
  See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for more information on connecting to NetSuite.
  
  Built-in Connection String Designer
  
  For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the NetSuite JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
```
java -jar cdata.jdbc.netsuite.jar
```
  Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

  A typical JDBC URL is the following:
```
jdbc:netsuite:Account Id=XABC123456;Password=password;User=user;Role Id=3;Version=2013_1;
```
