Access Sage 200 data from tools in Aqua Data Studio such as the Visual Query Builder and the Table Data Editor.
The CData JDBC Driver for Sage 200 integrates Sage 200 data with wizards and analytics in IDEs like Aqua Data Studio. This article shows how to connect to Sage 200 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 Sage 200 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, Sage 200.
- Driver Location: Click the Browse button and select the cdata.jdbc.sage200.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
- Driver: Enter the Driver's class name, cdata.jdbc.sage200.Sage200Driver.
URL: Enter the JDBC URL, which starts with jdbc:sage200: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.
- Schema: Determines which Sage 200 edition you are connecting to. Specify either StandardUK or ProfessionalUK.
- Subscription Key: Provides access to the APIs that are used to establish a connection. You will first need to log into the Sage 200 API website and subscribe to the API edition that matches your account. You can do so here: https://developer.columbus.sage.com/docs/services/api/uk. Afterwards, the subscription key may be found in your profile after logging into Sage 200.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Sage 200 JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.sage200.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical JDBC URL is below:jdbc:sage200:SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
Query Sage 200 Data
You can now query the tables exposed.
