Load Suadeo Data to a Database Using Embulk

Embulk is an open source bulk data loader. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Suadeo, Embulk easily loads data from Suadeo to any supported destination. In this article, we explain how to use the CData JDBC Driver for Suadeo in Embulk to load Suadeo data to a MySQL dtabase.

With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Suadeo data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Suadeo, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Suadeo and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations).

Configure a JDBC Connection to Suadeo 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 Suadeo\lib).

Embulk supports JDBC connectivity, so you can easily connect to Suadeo and execute SQL queries. Before creating a bulk load job, create a JDBC URL for authenticating with Suadeo.

The driver uses the OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) grant to authenticate to Suadeo. Authentication occurs directly using your credentials; there is no browser-based authorization flow or refresh token.

Set the following connection properties:

• URL: The base URL of your Suadeo instance.
• User: Your Suadeo username.
• Password: Your Suadeo password.
• AuthenticationName: The name identifier for the authentication configuration in your Suadeo instance. Different authentication names can be configured for different environments or use cases.

When you connect, the driver sends your credentials to the Suadeo OAuth token endpoint, receives an access token, and uses it for all subsequent requests. A new access token is obtained automatically when needed during the session.

Built-in Connection String Designer

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

java -jar cdata.jdbc.suadeo.jar

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

Below is a typical JDBC connection string for Suadeo:

jdbc:suadeo:URL=https://mysuadeoinstance;User=username;Password=password;AuthenticationName=your_auth_name;

Load Suadeo 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

1. Install the JDBC Input Plugin in Embulk.
   https://github.com/embulk/embulk-input-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-input-jdbc

embulk gem install embulk-input-jdbc

2. 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-mysql

   embulk gem install embulk-output-mysql
   

With the input and output plugins installed, we are ready to load Suadeo data into MySQL using Embulk.

Create a Job to Load Suadeo Data

Start by creating a config file in Embulk, using a name like suadeo-mysql.yml.

1. For the input plugin options, use the CData JDBC Driver for Suadeo, including the path to the driver JAR file, the driver class (e.g. cdata.jdbc.suadeo.SuadeoDriver), and the JDBC URL from above
2. For the output plugin options, use the values and credentials for the MySQL database

Sample Config File (suadeo-mysql.yml)

in:
	type: jdbc
	driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.suadeo.jar
	driver_class: cdata.jdbc.suadeo.SuadeoDriver
	url: jdbc:suadeo:URL=https://mysuadeoinstance;User=username;Password=password;AuthenticationName=your_auth_name;
	table: "Customers"
out: 
	type: mysql
	host: localhost
	database: DatabaseName
	user: UserId
	password: UserPassword
	table: "Customers"
	mode: insert

After creating the file, run the Embulk job.

embulk run suadeo-mysql.yml

After running the the Embulk job, find the Salesforce data in the MySQL table.

Load Filtered Suadeo 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.suadeo.jar
	driver_class: cdata.jdbc.suadeo.SuadeoDriver
	url: jdbc:suadeo:URL=https://mysuadeoinstance;User=username;Password=password;AuthenticationName=your_auth_name;
	query: "SELECT Id, Name FROM Customers WHERE [RecordId] = 1"
out: 
	type: mysql
	host: localhost
	database: DatabaseName
	user: UserId
	password: UserPassword
	table: "Customers"
	mode: insert
