Connect to Oracle Eloqua Data in Aqua Data Studio


Access Oracle Eloqua data from tools in Aqua Data Studio such as the Visual Query Builder and the Table Data Editor.

The CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Eloqua integrates Oracle Eloqua data with wizards and analytics in IDEs like Aqua Data Studio. This article shows how to connect to Oracle Eloqua 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 Oracle Eloqua data source can then be accessed from Aqua Data Studio tools.

  1. In Aqua Data Studio, select Register Server from the Servers menu.
  2. In the Register Server form, select the 'Generic - JDBC' connection.
  3. Enter the following JDBC connection properties:
    • Name: Enter a name for the data source; for example, Oracle Eloqua.
    • Driver Location: Click the Browse button and select the cdata.jdbc.oracleeloqua.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
    • Driver: Enter the Driver's class name, cdata.jdbc.oracleeloqua.OracleEloquaDriver.

    • URL: Enter the JDBC URL, which starts with jdbc:oracleeloqua: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

      There are two authentication methods available for connecting to Oracle Eloqua: Login and OAuth. The Login method requires you to have the Company, User, and Password of the user.

      If you do not have access to the username and password or do not wish to require them, you can use OAuth authentication. OAuth is better suited for allowing other users to access their own data. Using login credentials is better suited for accessing your own data.

      Built-in Connection String Designer

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

      java -jar cdata.jdbc.oracleeloqua.jar

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

      A typical JDBC URL is below:

      jdbc:oracleeloqua:User=user;Password=password;Company=CData;

Query Oracle Eloqua Data

You can now query the tables exposed.
