Connect to Oracle SCM Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Oracle SCM 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.

The following connection properties are required to connect to Oracle SCM data.

• Url: The URL of the account that you want to connect to. Typically, this will be the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
• User: The username of your Oracle Cloud service account.
• Password: The password of your Oracle Cloud service account.

You can then follow the steps below to register Oracle SCM 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 SCM data. Oracle SCM entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

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