Connect to Veeva Data from PowerBuilder



This article demonstrates how to access Veeva data from Appeon PowerBuilder using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Veeva.

This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for Veeva in PowerBuilder, showcasing the ease of use and compatibility of these standards-based controls across various platforms and development technologies that support Microsoft .NET, including Appeon PowerBuilder.

This article shows how to create a basic PowerBuilder application that uses the CData ADO.NET Provider for Veeva to perform reads and writes.

  1. In a new WPF Window Application solution, add all the Visual Controls needed for the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string:

    User=myuser;Password=mypassword;Server=localhost;Database=mydatabase;

    You are ready to connect after specifying the following connection properties:

    • Url: The host you see in the URL after you login to your account. For example: https://my-veeva-domain.veevavault.com
    • User: The username you use to login to your account.
    • Password: The password you use to login to your account.

  2. Add the DataGrid control from the .NET controls.
  3. Configure the columns of the DataGrid control. Below are several columns from the Account table: <DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Margin="13,249,12,14" Name="datagrid1" TabIndex="70" ItemsSource="{Binding}"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="idColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=Id}" Header="Id" Width="SizeToHeader" /> <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="nameColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=ProductId}" Header="ProductId" Width="SizeToHeader" /> ... </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid>
  4. Add a reference to the CData ADO.NET Provider for Veeva assembly.

Connect the DataGrid

Once the visual elements have been configured, you can use standard ADO.NET objects like Connection, Command, and DataAdapter to populate a DataTable with the results of an SQL query:

System.Data.CData.VeevaVault.VeevaVaultConnection conn conn = create System.Data.CData.VeevaVault.VeevaVaultConnection(connectionString) System.Data.CData.VeevaVault.VeevaVaultCommand comm comm = create System.Data.CData.VeevaVault.VeevaVaultCommand(command, conn) System.Data.DataTable table table = create System.Data.DataTable System.Data.CData.VeevaVault.VeevaVaultDataAdapter dataAdapter dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.VeevaVault.VeevaVaultDataAdapter(comm) dataAdapter.Fill(table) datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView

The code above can be used to bind data from the specified query to the DataGrid.
