Oracle SCM Icon Oracle SCM ODBC Driver

The Oracle SCM ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from Oracle SCM, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access Oracle SCM data like you would a database - read, write, and update Oracle SCM 0, etc. through a standard ODBC Driver interface.

Natively Connect to Oracle SCM Data in PHP


The CData ODBC driver for Oracle SCM enables you to create PHP applications with connectivity to Oracle SCM data. Leverage the native support for ODBC in PHP.

Drop the CData ODBC Driver for Oracle SCM into your LAMP or WAMP stack to build Oracle SCM-connected Web applications. This article shows how to use PHP's ODBC built-in functions to connect to Oracle SCM data, execute queries, and output the results.

Configure a DSN

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

The following connection properties are required to connect to Oracle SCM data.

  • Url: The URL of the account that you want to connect to. Typically, this will be the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
  • User: The username of your Oracle Cloud service account.
  • Password: The password of your Oracle Cloud service account.

Establish a Connection

Open the connection to Oracle SCM by calling the odbc_connect or odbc_pconnect methods. To close connections, use odbc_close or odbc_close_all.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC OracleSCM Source","user","password");

Connections opened with odbc_connect are closed when the script ends. Connections opened with the odbc_pconnect method are still open after the script ends. This enables other scripts to share that connection when they connect with the same credentials. By sharing connections among your scripts, you can save system resources, and queries execute faster.

$conn = odbc_pconnect("CData ODBC OracleSCM Source","user","password"); ... odbc_close($conn); //persistent connection must be closed explicitly

Create Prepared Statements

Create prepared statements and parameterized queries with the odbc_prepare function.

$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Carriers WHERE ActiveFlag = ?");

Execute Queries

Execute prepared statements with odbc_execute.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC OracleSCM Source","user","password"); $query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Carriers WHERE ActiveFlag = ?"); $success = odbc_execute($query, array('false'));

Execute nonparameterized queries with odbc_exec.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC OracleSCM Source","user","password"); $query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT CarrierId, CarrierName FROM Carriers WHERE ActiveFlag = 'false'");

Process Results

Access a row in the result set as an array with the odbc_fetch_array function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Oracle SCM data Source","user","password"); $query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT CarrierId, CarrierName FROM Carriers WHERE ActiveFlag = 'false'"); while($row = odbc_fetch_array($query)){ echo $row["CarrierId"] . "\n"; }

Display the result set in an HTML table with the odbc_result_all function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Oracle SCM data Source","user","password"); $query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Carriers WHERE ActiveFlag = ?"); $success = odbc_execute($query, array('false')); if($success) odbc_result_all($query);

More Example Queries

You will find complete information on the driver's supported SQL in the help documentation. The code examples above are Oracle SCM-specific adaptations of the PHP community documentation for all ODBC functions.
