Use wizards in DBArtisan to configure Zoho Projects data as a data source.
The CData ODBC Driver for Zoho Projects seamlessly integrates Zoho Projects data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Zoho Projects data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Zoho Projects in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Zoho Projects Data into DBArtisan Projects
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.
The connector uses OAuth to authenticate with Zoho Projects. CData Software has already registered an OAuth application with Zoho Project which is embedded and used to authenticate.
If you use the embedded credentials, set the InitiateOAuth connection property to "GETANDREFRESH".
If you would prefer to use your own custom OAuth app, see the Help documentation.
You can then follow the steps below to register Zoho Projects data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to Zoho Projects data. Zoho Projects entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Zoho Projects data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Zoho Projects API.
