Connect to Zoho Projects Data in RazorSQL


Connect to Zoho Projects from wizards and query Zoho Projects data from the GUI in the RazorSQL database management tool.

The CData JDBC Driver for Zoho Projects enables standards-based access from third-party tools, from wizards in IDEs to data management and analysis tools. This article shows how to connect to Zoho Projects using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Zoho Projects Data

  1. Open the RazorSQL application and, in the Connections menu, select Add Connection Profile -> Other -> JDBC.
  2. In the Connection Wizard that appears, set the following properties:
    • Driver Location: Set this property to the path to the lib subfolder in the installation directory.
    • Driver Class: Set the driver class to cdata.jdbc.zohoprojects.ZohoProjectsDriver.
    • Username: Enter the username. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
    • Password: Enter the password. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)

    • JDBC URL: Enter connection parameters. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:zohoprojects: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

      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.

      A typical JDBC URL is the following:

      jdbc:zohoprojects:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH

Query Zoho Projects Data and Select Tables

After establishing a connection, the wizard will close and the connection will be available in the connections panel. You can then query the tables.
