How to Query Suadeo Data in MySQL Workbench

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for Suadeo to query Suadeo data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live Suadeo data in MySQL Workbench.

Connect to Suadeo 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.

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.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Suadeo 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 Suadeo from MySQL Workbench

The steps below outline connecting to the virtual Suadeo database created in the SQL Gateway from MySQL Workbench and issuing basic queries to work with live Suadeo data.

Connect to Suadeo through the SQL Gateway

1. In MySQL Workbench, click to add a new MySQL connection.
2. Name the connection (CData SQL Gateway for Suadeo).
3. Set the Hostname, Port, and Username parameters to connect to the SQL Gateway.
4. Click Store in Vault to set and store the password.
5. Click Test Connection to ensure the connection is configured properly and click OK.

NOTE: When we refer to Username and Password, we mean the credentials for the user(s) created for the SQL Gateway.

Query Suadeo Data

1. Open the connection you just created (CData SQL Gateway for Suadeo).
2. Click File -> New Query Tab.
3. Write a SQL query to retrieve Suadeo data, like SELECT * FROM `CData Suadeo Sys`.Customers;
