How to Query OnePageCrm Data in MySQL Workbench

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for OnePageCrm to query OnePageCrm data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live OnePageCrm data in MySQL Workbench.

Connect to OnePageCrm Data

If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to configure the DSN. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.

Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the OnePageCrm Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\OnePageCrm.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for OnePageCrm (see below).

OnePageCrm API Profile Settings

In your OnePageCRM account, go to Apps and Integrations > API (Developer Access) > Configuration to find your User ID and API Key.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to OnePageCrm data as a virtual MySQL database. You will configure a MySQL remoting service that listens for MySQL requests from clients. The service can be configured in the SQL Gateway UI.

Query OnePageCrm from MySQL Workbench

The steps below outline connecting to the virtual OnePageCrm database created in the SQL Gateway from MySQL Workbench and issuing basic queries to work with live OnePageCrm data.

Connect to OnePageCrm through the SQL Gateway

1. In MySQL Workbench, click to add a new MySQL connection.
2. Name the connection (CData SQL Gateway for OnePageCrm).
3. Set the Hostname, Port, and Username parameters to connect to the SQL Gateway.
4. Click Store in Vault to set and store the password.
5. Click Test Connection to ensure the connection is configured properly and click OK.

NOTE: When we refer to Username and Password, we mean the credentials for the user(s) created for the SQL Gateway.

Query OnePageCrm Data

1. Open the connection you just created (CData SQL Gateway for OnePageCrm).
2. Click File -> New Query Tab.
3. Write a SQL query to retrieve OnePageCrm data, like SELECT * FROM `CData API Sys`.Actions;
