Connect to Odoo Data in Ruby


Connect to Odoo data in Ruby with ruby-dbi, dbd-odbc, and ruby-odbc.

The CData ODBC Driver for Odoo makes it easy to integrate connectivity to live Odoo data in Ruby. This article shows how to create a simple Ruby app that connects to Odoo data, executes a query, and displays the results.

Create an ODBC Connection to Odoo Data

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.

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.

Installing Ruby and Necessary Gems

If you do not have Ruby installed, refer to the Ruby installation page. With Ruby installed, you will need to install the ruby-dbi, dbd-odbc, and ruby-odbc gems:

gem install dbi gem install dbd-odbc gem install ruby-odbc

Create a Ruby App with Connectivity to Odoo Data

Create a new Ruby file (for example: OdooSelect.rb) and open it in a text editor. Copy the following code into your file:

#connect to the DSN require 'DBI' cnxn = DBI.connect('DBI:ODBC:CData Odoo Source','','') #execute a SELECT query and store the result set resultSet = cnxn.execute("SELECT name, email FROM res_users") #display the names of the columns resultSet.column_names.each do |name| print name, "\t" end puts #display the results while row = resultSet.fetch do (0..resultSet.column_names.size - 1).each do |n| print row[n], "\t" end puts end resultSet.finish #close the connection cnxn.disconnect if cnxn

With the file completed, you are ready to display your Odoo data with Ruby. To do so, simply run your file from the command line:

ruby OdooSelect.rb Writing SQL-92 queries to Odoo allows you to quickly and easily incorporate Odoo data into your own Ruby applications. Download a free trial today!
