Load Zoho Projects Data to a Database Using Embulk
Use CData JDBC drivers with the open source ETL/ELT tool Embulk to load Zoho Projects data to a database.
Embulk is an open source bulk data loader. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Zoho Projects, Embulk easily loads data from Zoho Projects to any supported destination. In this article, we explain how to use the CData JDBC Driver for Zoho Projects in Embulk to load Zoho Projects data to a MySQL dtabase.
With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Zoho Projects data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Zoho Projects, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Zoho Projects and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations).
Configure a JDBC Connection to Zoho Projects 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 Zoho Projects\lib).
Embulk supports JDBC connectivity, so you can easily connect to Zoho Projects and execute SQL queries. Before creating a bulk load job, create a JDBC URL for authenticating with Zoho Projects.
The connector uses OAuth to authenticate with Zoho Projects. CData Software has already registered an OAuth application with Zoho Project which is embedded and used to authenticate.
If you use the embedded credentials, set the InitiateOAuth connection property to "GETANDREFRESH".
If you would prefer to use your own custom OAuth app, see the Help documentation.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Zoho Projects JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.zohoprojects.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
Below is a typical JDBC connection string for Zoho Projects:
jdbc:zohoprojects:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
Load Zoho Projects 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
- Install the JDBC Input Plugin in Embulk.
https://github.com/embulk/embulk-input-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-input-jdbc - 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-mysqlembulk gem install embulk-output-mysql
embulk gem install embulk-input-jdbc
With the input and output plugins installed, we are ready to load Zoho Projects data into MySQL using Embulk.
Create a Job to Load Zoho Projects Data
Start by creating a config file in Embulk, using a name like zohoprojects-mysql.yml.
- For the input plugin options, use the CData JDBC Driver for Zoho Projects, including the path to the driver JAR file, the driver class (e.g. cdata.jdbc.zohoprojects.ZohoProjectsDriver), and the JDBC URL from above
- For the output plugin options, use the values and credentials for the MySQL database
Sample Config File (zohoprojects-mysql.yml)
in:
type: jdbc
driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.zohoprojects.jar
driver_class: cdata.jdbc.zohoprojects.ZohoProjectsDriver
url: jdbc:zohoprojects:InitiateOAuth=REFRESH
table: "Portals"
out:
type: mysql
host: localhost
database: DatabaseName
user: UserId
password: UserPassword
table: "Portals"
mode: insert
After creating the file, run the Embulk job.
embulk run zohoprojects-mysql.yml
After running the the Embulk job, find the Salesforce data in the MySQL table.
Load Filtered Zoho Projects 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.zohoprojects.jar
driver_class: cdata.jdbc.zohoprojects.ZohoProjectsDriver
url: jdbc:zohoprojects:InitiateOAuth=REFRESH
query: "SELECT Id, Name FROM Portals WHERE [RecordId] = 1"
out:
type: mysql
host: localhost
database: DatabaseName
user: UserId
password: UserPassword
table: "Portals"
mode: insert
