Get the Report →Query Oracle Sales Data as a SQL Server Database in Node.js
Execute SQL Server queries against Oracle Sales data from Node.js.
You can use CData Connect Cloud to query Oracle Sales data through a SQL Server interface. Follow the procedure below to create a virtual database for Oracle Sales in Connect Cloud and start querying using Node.js.
CData Connect Cloud provides a pure MySQL, cloud-to-cloud interface for Oracle Sales, allowing you to easily query live Oracle Sales data in Node.js — without replicating the data to a natively supported database. As you query data in Node.js, CData Connect Cloud pushes all supported SQL operations (filters, JOINs, etc) directly to Oracle Sales, leveraging server-side processing to quickly return Oracle Sales data.
Configure Oracle Sales Connectivity for NodeJS
Connectivity to Oracle Sales from NodeJS is made possible through CData Connect Cloud. To work with Oracle Sales data from NodeJS, we start by creating and configuring a Oracle Sales connection.
- Log into Connect Cloud, click Connections and click Add Connection
- Select "Oracle Sales" from the Add Connection panel
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Oracle Sales.
Oracle Sales uses Basic authentication over SSL; after setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:
- Username: Set this to the user name that you use to log into your Oracle Cloud service.
- Password: Set this to your password.
- HostURL: Set this to the Web address (URL) of your Oracle Cloud service.
- Click Create & Test
- Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add Oracle Sales Connection page and update the User-based permissions.
Add a Personal Access Token
If you are connecting from a service, application, platform, or framework that does not support OAuth authentication, you can create a Personal Access Token (PAT) to use for authentication. Best practices would dictate that you create a separate PAT for each service, to maintain granularity of access.
- Click on your username at the top right of the Connect Cloud app and click User Profile.
- On the User Profile page, scroll down to the Personal Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
- Give your PAT a name and click Create.
- The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.
With the connection configured, you are ready to connect to Oracle Sales data from Node.js.
Query Oracle Sales from Node.js
The following example shows how to define a connection and execute queries to Oracle Sales with the SQL Server module. You will need the following information:
- server: tds.cdata.com
- port: 14333
- user: a Connect Cloud user (e.g. [email protected])
- password: the PAT for the above user
- database: The connection you configured for Oracle Sales (OracleSalesCloud1)
Connect to Oracle Sales data and start executing queries with the code below:
var sql = require('mssql') var config = { server: 'tds.cdata.com', port: 14333, user: '[email protected]', //update me password: 'CONNECT_USER_PAT', //update me options: { encrypt: true, database: 'OracleSalesCloud1' } } sql.connect(config, err => { if(err){ throw err ; } new sql.Request().query('SELECT * FROM Opportunities', (err, result) => { console.dir(result) }) }); sql.on('error', err => { console.log("SQL Error: " ,err); })
