Connect to Kintone Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for Kintone 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 Kintone using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Kintone 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.kintone.KintoneDriver.
   • 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:kintone: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     In addition to the authentication values, set the following parameters to connect to and retrieve data from Kintone:

     • Url: The URL of your account.
     • GuestSpaceId: Optional. Set this when using a guest space.

     Authenticating with Kintone

     Kintone supports the following authentication methods.

     Using Password Authentication

     You must set the following to authenticate:

     • User: The username of your account.
     • Password: The password of your account.

     Using Basic Authentication

     If the basic authentication security feature is set on the domain, supply the additional login credentials with BasicAuthUser and BasicAuthPassword. Basic authentication requires these credentials in addition to User and Password.

     Using Client SSL

     Instead of basic authentication, you can specify a client certificate to authenticate. Set SSLClientCert, SSLClientCertType, SSLClientCertSubject, and SSLClientCertPassword. Additionally, set User and Password to your login credentials.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

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

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.kintone.jar

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

     

     A typical JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:kintone:User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;Url=http://subdomain.domain.com;GuestSpaceId=myspaceid

Query Kintone 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.
