Query Sage Intacct Data in MySQL Workbench

MySQL Workbench allows users to administer MySQL environments and gain better visibility into databases. When paired with CData Connect (on-premise or Connect Server), you get live access to Sage Intacct data as if it were a MySQL database. This article shows how to create a virtual database for Sage Intacct in Connect and work with live Sage Intacct data in MySQL Workbench.

Create a Virtual MySQL Database for Sage Intacct Data

CData Connect uses a straightforward, point-and-click interface to connect to data sources and generate APIs.

1. Login to Connect and click Connections.
2. Select "Sage Intacct" from Available Data Sources.
3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Sage Intacct.

   To connect using the Login method, the following connection properties are required: User, Password, CompanyId, SenderId and SenderPassword.

   User, Password, and CompanyId are the credentials for the account you wish to connect to.

   SenderId and SenderPassword are the Web Services credentials assigned to you by Sage Intacct.

4. Click Save Changes
5. Click Privileges -> Add and add the new user (or an existing user) with the appropriate permissions.

With the virtual database created, you are ready to connect to Sage Intacct from MySQL Workbench.
