Connect to Couchbase Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase enables standards-based access from third-party tools, from wizards in IDEs to data management and analysis tools. This article shows how to connect to Couchbase using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Couchbase Data

1. Open the RazorSQL application and, in the Connections menu, select Add Connection Profile -> Other -> JDBC.
2. In the Connection Wizard that appears, set the following properties:
   • Driver Location: Set this property to the path to the lib subfolder in the installation directory.
   • Driver Class: Set the driver class to cdata.jdbc.couchbase.CouchbaseDriver.
   • Username: Enter the username. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
   • Password: Enter the password. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)

   • JDBC URL: Enter connection parameters. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:couchbase: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     To connect using the Login method, set User, Password, and Server to the credentials for the account and the address of the server you want to connect to.

     A typical JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:couchbase:User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;Server=http://mycouchbaseserver;

3. To connect using the Login method, set User, Password, and Server to the credentials for the account and the address of the server you want to connect to.

Query Couchbase Data and Select Tables

After establishing a connection, the wizard will close and the connection will be available in the connections panel. You can then query the tables.
