Building the Connection URL

Use the connection URL to supply connection information to the data store that you are accessing. The examples below show the format of the connection URL for the Simba Zoho JDBC Connector:

jdbc:zoho://;Host=[InstanceURL];Auth_Type=OAuth 2.0;[Property1]=[Value];[Property2]=[Value];...

The variables are defined as follows:

  • [InstanceURL] is the URL of the Zoho instance.
  • [Property] and [Value] are any one of the other connection properties supported by the connector and the value for that property.

    • At minimum, you must set the properties that provide your credentials for authentication. For information about configuring authentication, see Configuring Authentication.

For example, to connect to Zoho and authenticate the connection using an access token, you would use the following connection URL:

jdbc:zoho://;Host=crm.zoho.com;Auth_Type=OAuth 2.0;Auth_AccessToken=kP9PcyQ7prK2LwUMZMpFQ4R+5VE;

Important:
  • Do not duplicate properties in the connection URL.
  • To make sure that the connection URL is compatible with all JDBC applications, it is recommended that you escape the backslashes (\) in your file paths by typing another backslash.
