Manage Oracle Sales Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

The CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Sales seamlessly integrates Oracle Sales data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Oracle Sales data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for Oracle Sales in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Oracle Sales Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Oracle Sales data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   Oracle Sales uses Basic authentication over SSL; after setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

   • Username: Set this to the user name that you use to log into your Oracle Cloud service.
   • Password: Set this to your password.
   • HostURL: Set this to the Web address (URL) of your Oracle Cloud service.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

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

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.oraclesalescloud.jar

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

   

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:oraclesalescloud:HostURL=https://my.host.oraclecloud.com; Username=abc123; Password=abcdef;
6. Finish the wizard to connect to Oracle Sales data. Oracle Sales entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with Oracle Sales data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Oracle Sales API.
