Get the Report →Back Up GraphQL data to SQL Server through SSIS
Effortlessly backup data to SQL Server by utilizing the CData ADO.NET Provider for GraphQL. In this article, we will employ an SSIS workflow to populate a database with GraphQL data data.
This article illustrates using the GraphQL ADO.NET Data Provider within a SQL Server SSIS workflow for the direct transfer of GraphQL data to a Microsoft SQL Server database. It's worth noting that the identical process detailed below is applicable to any CData ADO.NET Data Providers, enabling the direct connection of SQL Server with remote data through SSIS.
- Open Visual Studio and create a new Integration Services project.
- Add a new Data Flow task from the toolbox onto the Control Flow screen.
In the Data Flow screen, add an ADO.NET Source and an OLE DB Destination from the toolbox.
- Add a new connection and select .NET Providers\CData ADO.NET Provider for GraphQL.
In the connection manager, enter the connection details for GraphQL data.
You must specify the URL of the GraphQL service. The driver supports two types of authentication:
- Basic: Set AuthScheme to Basic. You must specify the User and Password of the GraphQL service.
- OAuth 1.0 & 2.0: Take a look at the OAuth section in the Help documentation for detailed instructions.
Open the DataReader editor and set the following information:
- ADO.NET connection manager: In the Connection Managers menu, select the Data Connection you just created.
- Data access mode: Select 'SQL command'.
- SQL command text: In the DataReader Source editor, open the Component Properties tab and enter a SELECT command, such as the one below:
SELECT Name, Email FROM Users WHERE UserLogin = 'admin'
- Close the DataReader editor and drag the arrow below the DataReader Source to connect it to the OLE DB Destination.
Open the OLE DB Destination and enter the following information in the Destination Component Editor.
- Connection manager: Add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here. In this example, SQLExpress is running on a separate machine.
- Data access mode: Set your data access mode to "table or view" and select the table or view to populate in your database.
Configure any properties you wish on the Mappings screen.
- Close the OLE DB Destination Editor and run the project. After the SSIS task has finished executing, your database will be populated with data obtained from GraphQL data.
