Connect to ZohoPeople Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for ZohoPeople seamlessly integrates ZohoPeople data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access ZohoPeople data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for ZohoPeople in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate ZohoPeople 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 ZohoPeople Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\ZohoPeople.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for ZohoPeople (see below).
ZohoPeople API Profile Settings
Register an OAuth application in the Zoho Developer Console as a server-based application to obtain your Client ID and Client Secret.
You can then follow the steps below to register ZohoPeople 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 ZohoPeople data. ZohoPeople entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with ZohoPeople data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the ZohoPeople API.
