Connect to Odoo Data in RapidMiner


Integrate Odoo data with standard components and data source configuration wizards in RapidMiner Studio.

This article shows how you can easily integrate the CData JDBC driver for Odoo into your processes in RapidMiner. This article uses the CData JDBC Driver for Odoo to transfer Odoo data to a process in RapidMiner.

About Odoo Data Integration

Accessing and integrating live data from Odoo has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:

  • Access live data from both Odoo API 8.0+ and Odoo.sh Cloud ERP.
  • Extend the native Odoo features with intelligent handling of many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many data properties. CData's connectivity solutions also intelligently handle complex data properties within Odoo. In addition to columns with simple values like text and dates, there are also columns that contain multiple values on each row. The driver decodes these kinds of values differently, depending upon the type of column the value comes from:
    • Many-to-one columns are references to a single row within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-one columns are represented as integers, whose value is the ID to which they refer in the other model.
    • Many-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-many columns are represented as text containing a comma-separated list of integers. Each value in that list is the ID of a row that is being referenced.
    • One-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model - they are similar to many-to-many columns (comma-separated lists of integers), except that each row in the referenced model must belong to only one in the main model.
  • Use SQL stored procedures to call server-side RFCs within Odoo.

Users frequently integrate Odoo with analytics tools such as Power BI and Qlik Sense, and leverage our tools to replicate Odoo data to databases or data warehouses.


Getting Started


Connect to Odoo in RapidMiner as a JDBC Data Source

You can follow the procedure below to establish a JDBC connection to Odoo:

  1. Add a new database driver for Odoo: Click Connections -> Manage Database Drivers.
  2. In the resulting wizard, click the Add button and enter a name for the connection.
  3. Enter the prefix for the JDBC URL: jdbc:odoo:
  4. Enter the path to the cdata.jdbc.odoo.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
  5. Enter the driver class: cdata.jdbc.odoo.OdooDriver
  6. Create a new Odoo connection: Click Connections -> Manage Database Connections.
  7. Enter a name for your connection.
  8. For Database System, select the Odoo driver you configured previously.
  9. Enter your connection string in the Host box.

    To connect, set the Url to a valid Odoo site, User and Password to the connection details of the user you are connecting with, and Database to the Odoo database.

    Built-in Connection String Designer

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

    java -jar cdata.jdbc.odoo.jar

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

    A typical connection string is below:

    User=MyUser;Password=MyPassword;URL=http://MyOdooSite/;Database=MyDatabase;
  10. Enter your username and password if necessary.

You can now use your Odoo connection with the various RapidMiner operators in your process. To retrieve Odoo data, drag the Retrieve operator from the Operators view. With the Retrieve operator selected, you can then define which table to retrieve in the Parameters view by clicking the folder icon next to the "repository entry." In the resulting Repository Browser, you can expand your connection node to select the desired example set.

Finally, wire the output to the Retrieve process to a result, and run the process to see the Odoo data.
