Salesforce ODBC Driver

Salesforce Connector can be used to extract/load large amount of data from/in Salesforce.com without any programming. You can use simple Table mode or Query mode with full SOQL query language support (SOQL=Salesforce.com Object Query Language).

In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Salesforce data in ODBC without coding. We will use high-performance Salesforce Connector to easily connect to Salesforce and then access the data inside ODBC.

Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that!

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys Salesforce Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from Salesforce using ODBC we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Salesforce. We will later be able to read data using ODBC. Perform these steps:

  1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

  2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):

    Open ODBC Data Source
  3. Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys Salesforce Driver

    ZappySys Salesforce Driver
    Create new User DSN for ZappySys Salesforce Driver
    • Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
    • Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.
  4. Now, we need SalesForce Connection. Lets create it. ODBC SalesForce Driver - Create Connection

  5. Now, When you see DSN Config Editor with zappysys logo first thing you need to do is change default DSN Name at the top and Click on Preview Tab, Select Table from Tables Dropdown or you can enter or modify a SOQL query and click on Preview Data.
    This example shows how to write simple SOQL query (Salesforce Object Query Language). It uses WHERE clause. For more SOQL Queries click here.
    SOQL is similar to database SQL query language but much simpler and many features you use in database query may not be supported in SOQL (Such as JOIN clause not supported). But you can use following Queries for Insert, Update, Delete and Upsert(Update or Insert record if not found).

    SELECT * FROM Account WHERE Name like '%Oil%'

  6. Click OK to finish creating the data source

Conclusion

In this article we showed you how to connect to Salesforce in ODBC and integrate data without any coding, saving you time and effort. It's worth noting that ZappySys Salesforce Driver allows you to connect not only to Salesforce, but to any Java application that supports JDBC (just use a different JDBC driver and configure it appropriately).

We encourage you to download Salesforce Connector for ODBC and see how easy it is to use it for yourself or your team.
