Connect to Outreach.io Data in JRuby


Create a simple JRuby app with access to live Outreach.io data.

JRuby is a high-performance, stable, fully threaded Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. The CData JDBC Driver for Outreach.io makes it easy to integrate connectivity to live Outreach.io data in JRuby. This article shows how to create a simple JRuby app that connects to Outreach.io data, executes a query, and displays the results.

Configure a JDBC Connection to Outreach.io Data

Before creating the app, note the installation location for the JAR file for the JDBC Driver (typically C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Outreach.io\lib).

JRuby natively supports JDBC, so you can easily connect to Outreach.io and execute SQL queries. Initialize the JDBC connection with the getConnection function of the java.sql.DriverManager class.

You must use OAuth to authenticate with Outreach. Set the InitiateOAuth connection property to "GETANDREFRESH". For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.

Built-in Connection String Designer

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

java -jar cdata.jdbc.outreach.jar

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

Below is a typical JDBC connection string for Outreach.io:

jdbc:outreach:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH

Create a JRuby App with Connectivity to Outreach.io Data

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

require 'java' require 'rubygems' require 'C:/Program Files/CData/CData JDBC Driver for Outreach.io 2018/lib/cdata.jdbc.outreach.jar' url = "jdbc:outreach:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH" conn = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(url) stmt = conn.createStatement rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Name, NumberOfEmployees FROM Accounts") while (rs.next) do puts rs.getString(1) + ' ' + rs.getString(2) end

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

jruby -S OutreachSelect.rb

Writing SQL-92 queries to Outreach.io allows you to quickly and easily incorporate Outreach.io data into your own JRuby applications. Download a free trial today!
