The CData JDBC Driver for Dynamics 365 Sales integrates Dynamics 365 Sales data with wizards and analytics in IDEs like Aqua Data Studio. This article shows how to connect to Dynamics 365 Sales data through the connection manager and execute queries.
Create a JDBC Data Source
You can use the connection manager to define connection properties and save them in a new JDBC data source. The Dynamics 365 Sales data source can then be accessed from Aqua Data Studio tools.
- In Aqua Data Studio, select Register Server from the Servers menu.
- In the Register Server form, select the 'Generic - JDBC' connection.
- Enter the following JDBC connection properties:
- Name: Enter a name for the data source; for example, Dynamics 365 Sales.
- Driver Location: Click the Browse button and select the cdata.jdbc.d365sales.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
- Driver: Enter the Driver's class name, cdata.jdbc.d365sales.D365SalesDriver.
- URL: Enter the JDBC URL, which starts with jdbc:d365sales: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties. You will find information on the required connection string options in the help documentation. A typical JDBC URL is below:
jdbc:d365sales:OrganizationUrl=https://myaccount.crm.dynamics.com/;
Dynamics 365 uses the OAuth authentication standard. See the Getting Started section in the help documentation for a guide to completing the process.
Query Dynamics 365 Sales Data
You can now query the tables exposed.
