Connect to Oracle Service Cloud Data from PowerBuilder


This article demonstrates how to use the CData ODBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud to connect to Oracle Service Cloud data and execute queries in PowerBuilder.

The CData ODBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to Oracle Service Cloud data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.

Connect to Oracle Service Cloud as an ODBC Data Source

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

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.

Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for Oracle Service Cloud

Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for Oracle Service Cloud. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with Oracle Service Cloud data.

  1. In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
  2. In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
  3. On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the Oracle Service Cloud DSN in the Data Source menu.
  4. To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.

Using Oracle Service Cloud Data with PowerBuilder Controls

You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve Oracle Service Cloud data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:

SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC" SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData OracleServiceCloud Source'" CONNECT USING SQLCA; dw_accounts.SetTransObject(SQLCA); dw_accounts.Retrieve();
