Connect to SageHR Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for SageHR seamlessly integrates SageHR data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access SageHR data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for SageHR in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate SageHR Data into DBArtisan Projects
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.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the SageHR Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\SageHR.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for SageHR (see below).
SageHR API Profile Settings
Navigate to Settings > Integrations > API in your SageHR account and click Enable API Access to obtain your API key. Your Subdomain is the prefix of your SageHR URL.
You can then follow the steps below to register SageHR data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to SageHR data. SageHR entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with SageHR data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the SageHR API.
