The Dynamics 365 ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from Dynamics 365, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access Dynamics 365 data like you would a database - read, write, and update Dynamics 365 Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, Accounts, etc. through a standard ODBC Driver interface.

Use wizards in DBArtisan to configure Dynamics 365 data as a data source.

The CData ODBC Driver for Dynamics 365 seamlessly integrates Dynamics 365 data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Dynamics 365 data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Dynamics 365 in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Dynamics 365 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.

Edition and OrganizationUrl are required connection properties. The Dynamics 365 connector supports connecting to the following editions: CustomerService, FieldService, FinOpsOnline, FinOpsOnPremise, HumanResources, Marketing, ProjectOperations and Sales.

For Dynamics 365 Business Central, use the separate Dynamics 365 Business Central driver.

OrganizationUrl is the URL to your Dynamics 365 organization. For instance, https://orgcb42e1d0.crm.dynamics.com

You can then follow the steps below to register Dynamics 365 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.
  4. Finish the wizard to connect to Dynamics 365 data. Dynamics 365 entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with Dynamics 365 data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Dynamics 365 API.
