Export Data from SQL Server to Odoo through SSIS

SQL Server databases are commonly used to store enterprise records. It is often necessary to move this data to other locations. The CData SSIS Task for Odoo allows you to easily transfer Odoo data. In this article you will export data from SQL Server to Odoo.

Add Source and Destination Components

To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new Odoo Destination control to the data flow task.

Configure the ADO.NET Source

Follow the steps below to specify properties required to connect to the SQL Server instance.

1. Open the ADO.NET Source and add a new connection. Enter your server and database information here.
2. In the Data access mode menu, select "Table or view" and select the table or view to export into Odoo.
3. Close the ADO NET Source wizard and connect it to the destination component.

Create a New Connection Manager for Odoo
