Access Odoo data from tools in Aqua Data Studio such as the Visual Query Builder and the Table Data Editor.
The CData JDBC Driver for Odoo integrates Odoo data with wizards and analytics in IDEs like Aqua Data Studio. This article shows how to connect to Odoo 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 Odoo 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, Odoo.
- Driver Location: Click the Browse button and select the cdata.jdbc.odoo.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
- Driver: Enter the Driver's class name, cdata.jdbc.odoo.OdooDriver.
URL: Enter the JDBC URL, which starts with jdbc:odoo: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.
To connect, set the Url to a valid Odoo site, User and Password to the connection details of the user you are connecting with, and Database to the Odoo database.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Odoo JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.odoo.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical JDBC URL is below:jdbc:odoo:User=MyUser;Password=MyPassword;URL=http://MyOdooSite/;Database=MyDatabase;
Query Odoo Data
You can now query the tables exposed.
