The Zoho Projects ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from Zoho Projects, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access Zoho Projects data like you would a database - read, write, and update Zoho Projects 0, etc. through a standard ODBC Driver interface.

Connect to Zoho Projects Data from PowerBuilder


This article demonstrates how to use the CData ODBC Driver for Zoho Projects to connect to Zoho Projects data and execute queries in PowerBuilder.

The CData ODBC Driver for Zoho Projects can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to Zoho Projects data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.

Connect to Zoho Projects as an ODBC Data Source

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.

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.

Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for Zoho Projects

Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for Zoho Projects. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with Zoho Projects data.

  1. In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
  2. In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
  3. On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the Zoho Projects DSN in the Data Source menu.
  4. To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.

Using Zoho Projects Data with PowerBuilder Controls

You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve Zoho Projects data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:

SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC" SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData ZohoProjects Source'" CONNECT USING SQLCA; dw_portals.SetTransObject(SQLCA); dw_portals.Retrieve();
