Manage Sage Cloud Accounting Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

The CData JDBC Driver for Sage Cloud Accounting seamlessly integrates Sage Cloud Accounting data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Sage Cloud Accounting data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for Sage Cloud Accounting in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Sage Cloud Accounting Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Sage Cloud Accounting data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   You can connect to Sage Business Cloud Accounting using the embedded OAuth connectivity. When you connect, the OAuth endpoint opens in your browser. Log in and grant permissions to complete the OAuth process. See the OAuth section in the online Help documentation for more information on other OAuth authentication flows.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

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

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.sagebcaccounting.jar

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

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:sagebcaccounting:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
6. Finish the wizard to connect to Sage Cloud Accounting data. Sage Cloud Accounting entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with Sage Cloud Accounting data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Sage Cloud Accounting API.
