BellaDati can be connected to numerous Databases.

Please consult with support particular solutions.

Connecting to Database

From Data Source Connectors page select SQL Database Connector.

Connection Parameters

You must specify following parameters:

  • host: IP address or domain name
  • database (SID): database name
  • password
  • user

Additional parameters can be specified by clicking on Add link in bottom left part of Connection parameters window. They can include:

  • port
  • driver: If different drivers are required for various database versions, you can select the right version here (eg. Oracle).

Connection parameters above may vary according database vendor. Please, refer to your database vendor`s documentation for details.

Connection to the database will be checked immediately - if a problem arises, you will be informed via error message. Please also check your firewall settings - if BellaDati can connect to the data source.*

Direct connection using localhost keyword or localhost IP address is disabled due to security reasons. Please define an alias in hosts file (eg. C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in Windows). Than use this alias in BellaDati.

Querying Database

There are two options how to query database:

  • Database Discovery
  • SQL Query Window

Database Discovery

Database Discovery is a visual editor for specifying database queries. To obtain data from the your database:

  1. Click table you want to query. BellaDati includes all columns by default.
  2. Check columns you want to import. Use select/deselect all to quickly manipulate with columns.

BellaDati will construct corresponding SQL query in the right SQL window

SQL Query Window

For advanced users or queries, BellaDati offers SQL Query Window. Use Query Window to construct desired SQL commands.

Click validate button to make sure that your command is correct before proceeding with data mapping.

Connection Modifications

Following data source parameters can be modified within the existing data source in Data Set page:

  • Connection parameters
  • SQL statement

When changing SQL query to extract more columns from the database, use Reset values function and then perform new import settings. Otherwise the additional columns will not be imported.
