How to Connect with ODBC

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:00PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 8 comments

I have followed all the steps in the documentation to set up SuiteAnalytics connect.  I can verify that the driver and configuration is correct by going to the 'System DNS'  tab in the ODBC Data Source.

Now what?  The documentation completely falls off here.  I use MySQL and I was thinking of setting up a new location and connecting through SSH.  But that does not work.  I guess that makes sense because those are to connect to a MySQL server, which NetSuite is not.

I imagine running some sort of script is going to be necessary.  I have experience running PHP and Perl scripts to connect to a database using ODBC.  Is that what I am going to need to do to successfully run queries off of NetSuite?

Howdy, Stranger!
