Execute MySQL queries against live Oracle Service Cloud data from MySQL Workbench.
You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud to query Oracle Service Cloud data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live Oracle Service Cloud data in MySQL Workbench.
Connect to Oracle Service Cloud Data
If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to configure the DSN. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.
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.
Configure the SQL Gateway
See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Oracle Service Cloud data as a virtual MySQL database. You will configure a MySQL remoting service that listens for MySQL requests from clients. The service can be configured in the SQL Gateway UI.
Query Oracle Service Cloud from MySQL Workbench
