Manage Oracle Eloqua Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Oracle Eloqua Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Oracle Eloqua 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.

   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.

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:oracleeloqua:User=user;Password=password;Company=CData;
6. Finish the wizard to connect to Oracle Eloqua data. Oracle Eloqua entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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