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

6. Finish the wizard to connect to SAP Business One data. SAP Business One entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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