Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable Neo4J replication to Microsoft Access.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Neo4J data into your Microsoft Access instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure Microsoft Access as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Neo4J data to Microsoft Access. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select Microsoft Access as a destination.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Microsoft Access, set the following:
- Data Source: The path to the Access database. The application must have read/write permissions to the database.
- Provider: The OLEDB Provider. For MS Office 2007 and above, use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0.
Windows Edition
Connecting to Access as a destination requires the Microsoft Access Database Engine, which can be downloaded from here.
Be sure to download the correct bitness of the driver as 64bit MS Office only works with the 64bit driver. If using 32bit MS Office, you will need to host DataSync in IIS and enable 32-bit applications. This can be set in the "Advanced Settings" for you Application Pool. Refer to Configuration in IIS for more information on hosting DataSync in IIS.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the Neo4J Connection
You can configure a connection to Neo4J from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Neo4J account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Neo4J).
- Configure the connection properties.
To connect to Neo4j, set the following connection properties:
- Server: The server hosting the Neo4j instance.
- Port: The port on which the Neo4j service is running. The provider connects to port 7474 by default.
- User: The username of the user using the Neo4j instance.
- Password: The password of the user using the Neo4j instance.
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure Replication Queries
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.
Replicate Entire Tables
To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.
Customize Your Replication
You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication.Schedule Your Replication
In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 10 minutes to once every month.
Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your Neo4J data to Microsoft Access.
