Query Amazon Marketplace Data in DataGrip

DataGrip is a database IDE that allows SQL developers to query, create, and manage databases. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Amazon Marketplace, DataGrip can work with live Amazon Marketplace data. This article shows how to establish a connection to Amazon Marketplace data in DataGrip.

Create a New Driver Definition for Amazon Marketplace

The steps below describe how to create a new Data Source in DataGrip for Amazon Marketplace.

1. In DataGrip, click File -> New > Project and name the project
2. In the Database Explorer, click the plus icon () and select Driver.
3. In the Driver tab:
   • Set Name to a user-friendly name (e.g. "CData Amazon Marketplace Driver")
   • Set Driver Files to the appropriate JAR file. To add the file, click the plus (), select "Add Files," navigate to the "lib" folder in the driver's installation directory and select the JAR file (e.g. cdata.jdbc.amazonmarketplace.jar).
   • Set Class to cdata.jdbc.amazonmarketplace.AmazonMarketplace.jar
   Additionally, in the advanced tab you can change driver properties and some other settings like VM Options, VM environment, VM home path, DBMS, etc
   • For most cases, change the DBMS type to "Unknown" in Expert options to avoid native SQL Server queries (Transact-SQL), which might result in an invalid function error
4. Click "Apply" then "OK" to save the Connection

Configure a Connection to Amazon Marketplace

1. Once the connection is saved, click the plus (), then "Data Source" then "CData Amazon Marketplace Driver" to create a new Amazon Marketplace Data Source.
2. In the new window, configure the connection to Amazon Marketplace with a JDBC URL.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Amazon Marketplace JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.amazonmarketplace.jar

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   To connect to the Amazon Marketplace Webservice (MWS), AWSAccessKeyId, MWSAuthToken, AWSSecretKey and SellerId are required. You can optionally set the Marketplace property. For more information on obtaining values for these properties, refer to the Help documentation.

3. Set URL to the connection string, e.g., jdbc:amazonmarketplace:AWS Access Key Id=myAWSAccessKeyId;AWS Secret Key=myAWSSecretKey;MWS Auth Token=myMWSAuthToken;Seller Id=mySellerId;Marketplace=United States;
4. Click "Apply" and "OK" to save the connection string

At this point, you will see the data source in the Data Explorer.

Execute SQL Queries Against Amazon Marketplace

To browse through the Amazon Marketplace entities (available as tables) accessible through the JDBC Driver, expand the Data Source.

To execute queries, right click on any table and select "New" -> "Query Console."

In the Console, write the SQL query you wish to execute. For example: SELECT AmazonOrderId, OrderStatus FROM Orders WHERE IsReplacementOrder = True
