Connect to Zoho Creator Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Zoho Creator 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 connector is already registered with Zoho Creator as an OAuth application.

If you would prefer to use your own custom OAuth app, see the Help documentation.

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

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