Use wizards in DBArtisan to create a JDBC data source for Zoho Creator.
The CData JDBC Driver for Zoho Creator seamlessly integrates Zoho Creator data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Zoho Creator data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for Zoho Creator in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Zoho Creator Data into DBArtisan Projects
Follow the steps below to register Zoho Creator data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic JDBC.
- Click Manage.
- In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
-
In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.
The connector is already registered with Zoho Creator as an OAuth application.
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 Creator JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.zohocreator.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
Below is a typical connection string:
jdbc:zohocreator:AccountsServer=AccountsServer;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
- Finish the wizard to connect to Zoho Creator data. Zoho Creator entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Zoho Creator data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Zoho Creator API.
