Get the Report →Load Oracle Service Cloud Data to a Database Using Embulk
Use CData JDBC drivers with the open source ETL/ELT tool Embulk to load Oracle Service Cloud data to a database.
Embulk is an open source bulk data loader. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud, Embulk easily loads data from Oracle Service Cloud to any supported destination. In this article, we explain how to use the CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud in Embulk to load Oracle Service Cloud data to a MySQL dtabase.
With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Oracle Service Cloud data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Oracle Service Cloud, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Oracle Service Cloud and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations).
Configure a JDBC Connection to Oracle Service Cloud Data
Before creating a bulk load job in Embulk, note the installation location for the JAR file for the JDBC Driver (typically C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud\lib).
Embulk supports JDBC connectivity, so you can easily connect to Oracle Service Cloud and execute SQL queries. Before creating a bulk load job, create a JDBC URL for authenticating with Oracle Service Cloud.
Using Basic Authentication
You must set the following to authenticate to Oracle Service Cloud:
- Url: The Url of the account to connect to.
- User: The username of the authenticating account.
- Password: The password of the authenticating account.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Oracle Service Cloud JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.oracleservicecloud.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

Below is a typical JDBC connection string for Oracle Service Cloud:
jdbc:oracleservicecloud:Url=https://abc.rightnowdemo.com;User=user;Password=password;
Load Oracle Service Cloud Data in Embulk
After installing the CData JDBC Driver and creating a JDBC connection string, install the required Embulk plugins.
Install Embulk Input & Output Plugins
- Install the JDBC Input Plugin in Embulk.
https://github.com/embulk/embulk-input-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-input-jdbc - In this article, we use MySQL as the destination database. You can also choose SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Google BigQuery as the destination using the output Plugins.
https://github.com/embulk/embulk-output-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-output-mysqlembulk gem install embulk-output-mysql
embulk gem install embulk-input-jdbc
With the input and output plugins installed, we are ready to load Oracle Service Cloud data into MySQL using Embulk.
Create a Job to Load Oracle Service Cloud Data
Start by creating a config file in Embulk, using a name like oracleservicecloud-mysql.yml.
- For the input plugin options, use the CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud, including the path to the driver JAR file, the driver class (e.g. cdata.jdbc.oracleservicecloud.OracleServiceCloudDriver), and the JDBC URL from above
- For the output plugin options, use the values and credentials for the MySQL database
Sample Config File (oracleservicecloud-mysql.yml)
in:
type: jdbc
driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.oracleservicecloud.jar
driver_class: cdata.jdbc.oracleservicecloud.OracleServiceCloudDriver
url: jdbc:oracleservicecloud:Url=https://abc.rightnowdemo.com;User=user;Password=password;
table: "Accounts"
out:
type: mysql
host: localhost
database: DatabaseName
user: UserId
password: UserPassword
table: "Accounts"
mode: insert
After creating the file, run the Embulk job.
embulk run oracleservicecloud-mysql.yml
After running the the Embulk job, find the Salesforce data in the MySQL table.
Load Filtered Oracle Service Cloud Data
In addition to loading data directly from a table, you can use a custom SQL query to have more granular control of the data loaded. You can also perform increment loads by setting a last updated column in a SQL WHERE clause in the query field.
in:
type: jdbc
driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.oracleservicecloud.jar
driver_class: cdata.jdbc.oracleservicecloud.OracleServiceCloudDriver
url: jdbc:oracleservicecloud:Url=https://abc.rightnowdemo.com;User=user;Password=password;
query: "SELECT Id, LookupName FROM Accounts WHERE [RecordId] = 1"
out:
type: mysql
host: localhost
database: DatabaseName
user: UserId
password: UserPassword
table: "Accounts"
mode: insert
