Integrate connectivity to JDBC-ODBC Bridge data with wizards in IntelliJ.

The CData JDBC Driver for JDBC-ODBC Bridge enables you to access JDBC-ODBC Bridge as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to JDBC-ODBC Bridge data in IntelliJ.

Create a JBDC Data Source for JDBC-ODBC Bridge

Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to JDBC-ODBC Bridge data.

  1. In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.

  2. In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:

    • JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.jdbcodbc.jar, located in the installation directory.
    • JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.jdbcodbc.JDBCODBCDriver from the list.

    • Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:jdbcodbc: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.

      To connect to an ODBC data source, specify either the DSN (data source name) or specify an ODBC connection string: Set Driver and the connection properties for your ODBC driver.

      Built-in Connection String Designer

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

      java -jar cdata.jdbc.jdbcodbc.jar

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

      A typical JDBC URL is the following:

      jdbc:jdbcodbc:Driver={ODBC_Driver_Name};Driver_Property1=Driver_Value1;Driver_Property2=Driver_Value2;...

Edit and Save JDBC-ODBC Bridge Data

To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor. You can also modify records in the Table Editor.
