Sage 50 UK
Sage 50 UK ODBC Connectivity Features
- SQL-92 access to local company datasets and datasets on network drives
- Compatible with Sage 50 UK 2012 and above
- Powerful metadata querying enables SQL-like access to non-database sources
- Push down query optimization pushes SQL operations down to the server whenever possible, increasing performance
- Client-side query execution engine, supports SQL-92 operations that are not available server-side
- Connect to live Sage 50 UK data, for real-time data access with the Sage 50 UK JDBC Driver
- Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
- Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
- Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the Sage 50 UK Connector.
Target Service, API
The driver supports Sage 50 UK 2012 and above through the SData adapter. For v28 and later, the Sdata adapter must be installed prior to using the driver. The driver provides SQL-92 access to local company datasets and datasets on network drives. Connection requires specifying the URL property to the address of the company dataset.
Schema, Data Model
The driver models Sage 50 UK data as relational tables with metadata dynamically discovered at connection time. Company datasets are exposed through their SData endpoints. The driver supports dynamic schema detection including custom objects created in Sage 50. Access is provided to multiple company datasets through network connections.
Key Objects
Primary objects include TradingAccounts (with properties like Name, FinanceBalance), Customers, Transactions, Invoices, Sales Receipts. The driver provides comprehensive access to all Sage 50 UK accounting entities through standard SQL interfaces.
Operations
Full CRUD operations with ANSI-92 SQL support. Supports SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations. Complex SQL operations including JOINs and aggregations are supported. Client-side query execution engine handles operations not available server-side.
Authentication
Requires valid Sage 50 UK user credentials through User and Password properties. These are the same credentials used to log into the Sage 50 UK software. Additionally requires URL property pointing to the company dataset address obtained from Sage 50's SData Settings.
