CData Excel Add-In for SuiteCRM models SuiteCRM modules as relational database.

Tables

Table definitions are dynamically retrieved. The add-in connects to SuiteCRM and gets the list of tables and the metadata for the tables by calling the appropriate Web services. Any changes you make to your SuiteCRM account, such as adding a new table, or adding new columns, or changing the data type of a column, will immediately be reflected when you connect using the add-in.

The add-in can also expose custom modules on your SuiteCRM account that are not mentioned in the . You can query against these custom modules as with any other table. Additionally, you can query against custom fields of standard modules.

This section shows the sample table definitions that are included in the SuiteCRM development environment.

Query Processing

The add-in offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to SuiteCRM and then processes the rest of the query in memory; API limitations and requirements are documented in this section.
