Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for X-Cart
Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for X-Cart. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with X-Cart data.
- If you have not already done so, create an ODBC DSN for X-Cart. The DSN contains the connection properties required to connect to X-Cart data. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure DSNs. This is the last step of installing the driver.
Required connection properties are the following:
- Url
- ApiKey
An API Key must be created for your XCart Installation. In order to obtain the API Key, you need to install and configure the REST API Module for your X-Cart installation.
- Login to your X-Cart Installation. Click on My addons on the bottom of the left side-bar navigation panel.
- Search for REST API Module. Install the Module.
- After the module has been installed, you need to set it up.
- Go to the Settings section for the REST API Module.
- On the settings page specify the API Key (only read)
- Set the ApiKey and Url to the connection property to connect to data.
- In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
- In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
- On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the X-Cart DSN in the Data Source menu.
- To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.

Using X-Cart Data with PowerBuilder Controls
You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve X-Cart data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:
SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData X-Cart Source'"
CONNECT USING SQLCA;
dw_profiles.SetTransObject(SQLCA);
dw_profiles.Retrieve();
