Connect to Oracle Sales Data in DBArtisan

The CData ODBC Driver for Oracle Sales seamlessly integrates Oracle Sales data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Oracle Sales data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Oracle Sales in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Oracle Sales Data into DBArtisan Projects

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Oracle Sales uses Basic authentication over SSL; after setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

• Username: Set this to the user name that you use to log into your Oracle Cloud service.
• Password: Set this to your password.
• HostURL: Set this to the Web address (URL) of your Oracle Cloud service.

You can then follow the steps below to register Oracle Sales data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic ODBC.
3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN. 👁 The DSN of the data source to be registered. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
4. Finish the wizard to connect to Oracle Sales data. Oracle Sales entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

You can now work with Oracle Sales data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Oracle Sales API.
