Replicate WooCommerce Data from PowerShell
The CData ODBC Driver for WooCommerce enables out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft's built-in support for ODBC. The ODBC driver instantly integrates connectivity to the real WooCommerce data with PowerShell.
You can use the .NET Framework Provider for ODBC built into PowerShell to quickly automate integration tasks like replicating WooCommerce data to other databases. This article shows how to replicate WooCommerce data to SQL Server in 5 lines of code.
You can also write PowerShell code to execute create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations. See the examples below.
Create an ODBC Data Source for WooCommerce
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.
WooCommerce supports the following authentication methods: one-legged OAuth1.0 Authentication and standard OAuth2.0 Authentication.
Connecting using one-legged OAuth 1.0 Authentication
Specify the following properties (NOTE: the below credentials are generated from WooCommerce settings page and should not be confused with the credentials generated by using WordPress OAuth2.0 plugin):
- ConsumerKey
- ConsumerSecret
Connecting using WordPress OAuth 2.0 Authentication
After having configured the [ plugin, you may connect to WooCommerce by providing the following connection properties:
]
- OAuthClientId
- OAuthClientSecret
- CallbackURL
- InitiateOAuth - Set this to either GETANDREFRESH or REFRESH
In either case, you will need to set the Url property to the URL of the WooCommerce instance.
Connect to WooCommerce
The code below shows how to use the DSN to initialize the connection to WooCommerce data in PowerShell:
$conn = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection
$conn.ConnectionString = "DSN=CData WooCommerce Source x64"
Back Up WooCommerce Data to SQL Server
After you enable caching, you can use the code below to replicate data to SQL Server.
Set the following connection properties to configure the caching database:
CacheProvider: The name of the ADO.NET provider. This can be found in the Machine.config for your version of .NET. For example, to configure SQL Server, enter System.Data.SqlClient.
CacheConnection: The connection string of properties required to connect to the database. Below is an example for SQL Server:
Server=localhost;Database=RSB;User Id=sqltest;Password=sqltest;
The SQL query in the example can be used to refresh the entire cached table, including its schema. Any already existing cache is deleted.
$conn.Open()
# Create and execute the SQL Query
$SQL = "CACHE DROP EXISTING SELECT * FROM " + $Orders
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand($sql,$conn)
$count = $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
$conn.Close()
The driver gives you complete control over the caching functionality. See the help documentation for more caching commands and usage examples. See the help documentation for steps to replicate to other databases.
Other Operations
To retrieve WooCommerce data in PowerShell, call the Fill method of the OdbcDataAdapter method. To execute data manipulation commands, initialize the OdbcCommand object and then call ExecuteNonQuery. Below are some more examples CRUD commands to WooCommerce through the .NET Framework Provider for ODBC:
Retrieve WooCommerce Data
$sql="SELECT ParentId, Total from Orders"
$da= New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
$dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
$da.Fill($dt)
$dt.Rows | foreach {
$dt.Columns | foreach ($col in dt{
Write-Host $1[$_]
}
}
Update WooCommerce Data
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("UPDATE Orders SET ParentId='3' WHERE Id = @myId", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter("myId","001d000000YBRseAAH")
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Insert WooCommerce Data
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("INSERT INTO Orders SET ParentId='3' WHERE Id = @myId", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter("myId","001d000000YBRseAAH")
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Delete WooCommerce Data
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("DELETE FROM Orders WHERE Id = @myid", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add(new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter("myId","001d000000YBRseAAH")
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
