Connect to Salesforce Marketing Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for Salesforce Marketing 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 Salesforce Marketing using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Salesforce Marketing 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.sfmarketingcloud.SFMarketingCloudDriver.
   • 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:sfmarketingcloud: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     Authenticating to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud APIs

     Set the User and Password to your login credentials, or to the credentials for a sandbox user if you are connecting to a sandbox account.

     Connecting to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud APIs

     By default, the data provider connects to production environments. Set UseSandbox to true to use a Salesforce Marketing Cloud sandbox account.

     The default Instance is s7 of the Web Services API; however, if you use a different instance, you can set Instance.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Salesforce Marketing JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.sfmarketingcloud.jar

     Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

     A typical JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:sfmarketingcloud:User=myUser;Password=myPassword;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH

Query Salesforce Marketing 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.
