CData Cloud

Overview

CData Cloud offers access to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT across several standard services and protocols, in a cloud-hosted solution. Any application that can connect to a MySQL or SQL Server database can connect to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT through CData Cloud.

CData Cloud allows you to standardize and configure connections to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT as though it were any other OData endpoint, or standard SQL Server/MySQL database.

Key Features

  • Full SQL Support: BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT appears as standard relational databases, allowing you to perform operations - Filter, Group, Join, etc. - using standard SQL, regardless of whether these operations are supported by the underlying API.
  • CRUD Support: Both read and write operations are supported, restricted only by security settings that you can configure in Cloud or downstream in the source itself.
  • Secure Access: The administrator can create users and define their access to specific databases and read-only operations or grant full read & write privileges.
  • Comprehensive Data Model & Dynamic Discovery: CData Cloud provides comprehensive access to all of the data exposed in the underlying data source, including full access to dynamic data and easily searchable metadata.

CData Cloud

Getting Started

This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

CData Cloud

Establishing a Connection

Connect to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT

Before establishing a connection, supply the SubscriptionKey, found in the BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT Profile.

Authenticating to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT

BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT uses the OAuth authentication standard. You can connect to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT without setting any connection properties using the Embedded Credentials.

Alternatively, you can authenticate by Creating a Custom OAuth App to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties.

See Using OAuth Authentication for an authentication guide.

CData Cloud

Using OAuth Authentication

OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT using the browser. The Cloud facilitates this in various ways as described below.

Embedded Credentials

See Embedded Credentials to connect with the Cloud's embedded credentials and skip creating a custom OAuth app.

Custom Credentials

You will need to register an app to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

Creating a Custom OAuth App

See Creating a Custom OAuth App for a procedure.

CData Cloud

Embedded Credentials

Embedded OAuth Credentials

Desktop Authentication with the Embedded OAuth App

You can connect without setting any OAuth connection properties for your user credentials. After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

  • SubscriptionKey: Set this to your Subscription Key.
When you connect, the Cloud opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The Cloud then completes the OAuth process.

CData Cloud

Custom Credentials

Desktop Authentication with your OAuth App

Follow the steps below to authenticate with the credentials for a custom OAuth app. See Creating a Custom OAuth App.

Get an OAuth Access Token

After setting the following, you are ready to connect:

  • OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id in your app settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Client Secret in your app settings.
  • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URL in your app settings.
  • SubscriptionKey: Set this to your subscription key.
When you connect the Cloud opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application.

CData Cloud

Headless Machines

Using OAuth on a Headless Machine

To create BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT data sources on headless servers or other machines on which the Cloud cannot open a browser, you need to authenticate from another machine. Authentication is a two-step process.

  1. Instead of installing the Cloud on another machine, you can follow the steps below to obtain the OAuthVerifier value. Or, you can install the Cloud on another machine and transfer the OAuth authentication values, after you authenticate through the usual browser-based flow.
  2. You can then configure the Cloud to automatically refresh the access token from the headless machine.
You can follow the headless OAuth authentication flow using the Cloud's embedded OAuth credentials or using the OAuth credentials for your custom OAuth app.

Using the Credentials for a Custom OAuth App

Create a Custom OAuth App

See Creating a Custom OAuth App for a procedure. You can then follow the procedures below to authenticate and connect to data.

Obtain a Verifier Code

Set the following properties on the headless machine:

  • InitiateOAuth: Set this to OFF.
  • OAuthClientId: Set this to the App Id in your app settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the App Secret in your app settings.
  • SubscriptionKey: Set this to your subscription key.

You can then follow the steps below to authenticate from another machine and obtain the OAuthVerifier connection property.

  1. Call the GetOAuthAuthorizationURL stored procedure with the CallbackURL input parameter set to the exact Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.
  2. Open the returned URL in a browser. Log in and grant permissions to the Cloud. You are then redirected to the callback URL, which contains the verifier code.
  3. Save the value of the verifier code. You will set this in the OAuthVerifier connection property.

On the headless machine, set the following connection properties to obtain the OAuth authentication values:

  • OAuthClientId: Set this to the consumer key in your app settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the consumer secret in your app settings.
  • OAuthVerifier: Set this to the verifier code.
  • OAuthSettingsLocation: Set this to persist the encrypted OAuth authentication values to the specified file.
  • InitiateOAuth: Set this to REFRESH.
  • SubscriptionKey: Set this to your subscription key.

Connect to Data

After the OAuth settings file is generated, set the following properties to connect to data:

  • OAuthSettingsLocation: Set this to the file containing the encrypted OAuth authentication values. Make sure this file gives read and write permissions to the provider to enable the automatic refreshing of the access token.
  • InitiateOAuth: Set this to REFRESH.
  • SubscriptionKey: Set this to your subscription key.

Transfer OAuth Settings

Follow the steps below to install the Cloud on another machine, authenticate, and then transfer the resulting OAuth values.

On a second machine, install the Cloud and connect with the following properties set:

  • OAuthSettingsLocation: Set this to a writable text file.
  • OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id in your app settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Client Secret in your app settings.
  • CallbackURL: Set this to the Callback URL in your app settings.
  • SubscriptionKey: Set this to your subscription key.

Test the connection to authenticate. The resulting authentication values are written, encrypted, to the path specified by OAuthSettingsLocation. Once you have successfully tested the connection, copy the OAuth settings file to your headless machine. On the headless machine, set the following connection properties to connect to data:

  • InitiateOAuth: Set this to REFRESH.
  • OAuthSettingsLocation: Set this to the path to your OAuth settings file. Make sure this file gives read and write permissions to the Cloud to enable the automatic refreshing of the access token.
  • SubscriptionKey: Set this to your subscription key.

CData Cloud

CData Cloud

Advanced Features

This section details a selection of advanced features of the BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT Cloud.

User Defined Views

The Cloud allows you to define virtual tables, called user defined views, whose contents are decided by a pre-configured query. These views are useful when you cannot directly control queries being issued to the drivers. See User Defined Views for an overview of creating and configuring custom views.

SSL Configuration

Use SSL Configuration to adjust how Cloud handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats; see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" for more information.

Firewall and Proxy

Configure the Cloud for compliance with Firewall and Proxy, including Windows proxies and HTTP proxies. You can also set up tunnel connections.

Query Processing

The Cloud offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side).

See Query Processing for more information.

Logging

See Logging for an overview of configuration settings that can be used to refine CData logging. For basic logging, you only need to set two connection properties, but there are numerous features that support more refined logging, where you can select subsets of information to be logged using the LogModules connection property.

CData Cloud

User Defined Views

The CData Cloud allows you to define a virtual table whose contents are decided by a pre-configured query. These are called User Defined Views, which are useful in situations where you cannot directly control the query being issued to the driver, e.g. when using the driver from a tool. The User Defined Views can be used to define predicates that are always applied. If you specify additional predicates in the query to the view, they are combined with the query already defined as part of the view.

There are two ways to create user defined views:

  • Create a JSON-formatted configuration file defining the views you want.

Defining Views Using a Configuration File

User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The Cloud automatically detects the views specified in this file.

You can also have multiple view definitions and control them using the UserDefinedViews connection property. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the Cloud.

This User Defined View configuration file is formatted as follows:

  • Each root element defines the name of a view.
  • Each root element contains a child element, called query, which contains the custom SQL query for the view.

For example:

{
	"MyView": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM Constituents WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
	},
	"MyView2": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
	}
}
Use the UserDefinedViews connection property to specify the location of your JSON configuration file. For example:
"UserDefinedViews", "C:\\Users\\yourusername\\Desktop\\tmp\\UserDefinedViews.json"

Schema for User Defined Views

User Defined Views are exposed in the UserViews schema by default. This is done to avoid the view's name clashing with an actual entity in the data model. You can change the name of the schema used for UserViews by setting the UserViewsSchemaName property.

Working with User Defined Views

For example, a SQL statement with a User Defined View called UserViews.RCustomers only lists customers in Raleigh:
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City = 'Raleigh';
An example of a query to the driver:
SELECT * FROM UserViews.RCustomers WHERE Status = 'Active';
Resulting in the effective query to the source:
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City = 'Raleigh' AND Status = 'Active';
That is a very simple example of a query to a User Defined View that is effectively a combination of the view query and the view definition. It is possible to compose these queries in much more complex patterns. All SQL operations are allowed in both queries and are combined when appropriate.

CData Cloud

SSL Configuration

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.

CData Cloud

Firewall and Proxy

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To connect through the Windows system proxy, you do not need to set any additional connection properties. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

In addition, to authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

  • To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
  • To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
  • To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
  • To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

Query Processing

Query Processing

CData has a client-side SQL engine built into the Cloud library. This enables support for the full capabilities that SQL-92 offers, including filters, aggregations, functions, etc.

For sources that do not support SQL-92, the Cloud offloads as much of SQL statement processing as possible to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side). This results in optimal performance.

For data sources with limited query capabilities, the Cloud handles transformations of the SQL query to make it simpler for the Cloud. The goal is to make smart decisions based on the query capabilities of the data source to push down as much of the computation as possible. The BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT Query Evaluation component examines SQL queries and returns information indicating what parts of the query the Cloud is not capable of executing natively.

The BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT Query Slicer component is used in more specific cases to separate a single query into multiple independent queries. The client-side Query Engine makes decisions about simplifying queries, breaking queries into multiple queries, and pushing down or computing aggregations on the client-side while minimizing the size of the result set.

There's a significant trade-off in evaluating queries, even partially, client-side. There are always queries that are impossible to execute efficiently in this model, and some can be particularly expensive to compute in this manner. CData always pushes down as much of the query as is feasible for the data source to generate the most efficient query possible and provide the most flexible query capabilities.

More Information

For a full discussion of how CData handles query processing, see CData Architecture: Query Execution.

CData Cloud

Logging

Capturing Cloud logging can be very helpful when diagnosing error messages or other unexpected behavior.

Basic Logging

You will simply need to set two connection properties to begin capturing Cloud logging.

  • Logfile: A filepath which designates the name and location of the log file.
  • Verbosity: This is a numerical value (1-5) that determines the amount of detail in the log. See the page in the Connection Properties section for an explanation of the five levels.
  • MaxLogFileSize: When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end. The default limit is 100 MB. Values lower than 100 kB will use 100 kB as the value instead.
  • MaxLogFileCount: A string specifying the maximum file count of log files. When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end and the oldest log file will be deleted. Minimum supported value is 2. A value of 0 or a negative value indicates no limit on the count.

Once this property is set, the Cloud will populate the log file as it carries out various tasks, such as when authentication is performed or queries are executed. If the specified file doesn't already exist, it will be created.

Log Verbosity

The verbosity level determines the amount of detail that the Cloud reports to the Logfile. Verbosity levels from 1 to 5 are supported. These are described in the following list:

1Setting Verbosity to 1 will log the query, the number of rows returned by it, the start of execution and the time taken, and any errors.
2Setting Verbosity to 2 will log everything included in Verbosity 1 and additional information about the request.
3Setting Verbosity to 3 will additionally log HTTP headers, as well as the body of the request and the response.
4Setting Verbosity to 4 will additionally log transport-level communication with the data source. This includes SSL negotiation.
5Setting Verbosity to 5 will additionally log communication with the data source and additional details that may be helpful in troubleshooting problems. This includes interface commands.

The Verbosity should not be set to greater than 1 for normal operation. Substantial amounts of data can be logged at higher verbosities, which can delay execution times.

To refine the logged content further by showing/hiding specific categories of information, see LogModules.

Sensitive Data

Verbosity levels 3 and higher may capture information that you do not want shared outside of your organization. The following lists information of concern for each level:

  • Verbosity 3: The full body of the request and the response, which includes all the data returned by the Cloud
  • Verbosity 4: SSL certificates
  • Verbosity 5: Any extra transfer data not included at Verbosity 3, such as non human-readable binary transfer data

Best Practices for Data Security

Although we mask sensitive values, such as passwords, in the connection string and any request in the log, it is always best practice to review the logs for any sensitive information before sharing outside your organization.

Advanced Logging

You may want to refine the exact information that is recorded to the log file. This can be accomplished using the LogModules property.

This property allows you to filter the logging using a semicolon-separated list of logging modules.

All modules are four characters long. Please note that modules containing three letters have a required trailing blank space. The available modules are:

  • EXEC: Query Execution. Includes execution messages for original SQL queries, parsed SQL queries, and normalized SQL queries. Query and page success/failure messages appear here as well.
  • INFO: General Information. Includes the connection string, driver version (build number), and initial connection messages.
  • HTTP: HTTP Protocol messages. Includes HTTP requests/responses (including POST messages), as well as Kerberos related messages.
  • SSL : SSL certificate messages.
  • OAUT: OAuth related failure/success messages.
  • SQL : Includes SQL transactions, SQL bulk transfer messages, and SQL result set messages.
  • META: Metadata cache and schema messages.
  • TCP : Incoming and Ongoing raw bytes on TCP transport layer messages.
An example value for this property would be.
LogModules=INFO;EXEC;SSL ;SQL ;META;

Note that these modules refine the information as it is pulled after taking the Verbosity into account.

CData Cloud

SQL Compliance

The CData Cloud supports several operations on data, including querying, deleting, modifying, and inserting.

SELECT Statements

See SELECT Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

See Data Model for information on the capabilities of the BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT API.

EXECUTE Statements

Use EXECUTE or EXEC statements to execute stored procedures. See EXECUTE Statements for a syntax reference and examples.

Names and Quoting

  • Table and column names are considered identifier names; as such, they are restricted to the following characters: [A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _:@].
  • To use a table or column name with characters not listed above, the name must be quoted using square brackets ([name]) in any SQL statement.
  • Parameter names can optionally start with the @ symbol (e.g., @p1 or @CustomerName) and cannot be quoted.
  • Strings must be quoted using single quotes (e.g., 'John Doe').

  { 
    * 
    | { 
        <expression> [ [ AS ] <column_reference> ] 
        | { <table_name> | <correlation_name> } .*

Examples

  1. Return all columns:
    SELECT * FROM Constituents
  2. Rename a column:
    SELECT [AddressLines] AS MY_AddressLines FROM Constituents
  3. Cast a column's data as a different data type:
    SELECT CAST(AnnualRevenue AS VARCHAR) AS Str_AnnualRevenue FROM Constituents
  4. Search data:
    SELECT * FROM Constituents WHERE Type = 'Home'
  5. Return the number of items matching the query criteria:
    SELECT COUNT(*) AS MyCount FROM Constituents 
  6. Return the number of unique items matching the query criteria:
    SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT AddressLines) FROM Constituents 
  7. Return the unique items matching the query criteria:
    SELECT DISTINCT AddressLines FROM Constituents 
  8. Summarize data:
    SELECT AddressLines, MAX(AnnualRevenue) FROM Constituents GROUP BY AddressLines
    See Aggregate Functions for details.
  9. Retrieve data from multiple tables.
    SELECT c.Category, c.Fundraisers, c.Summary, o.Name, o.PhoneDoNotCall FROM Actions c INNER JOIN Constituents o ON c.ConstituentId = o.Id
    See JOIN Queries for details.
  10. Sort a result set in ascending order:
    SELECT Id, AddressLines FROM Constituents  ORDER BY AddressLines ASC
  11. Restrict a result set to the specified number of rows:
    SELECT Id, AddressLines FROM Constituents LIMIT 10 
  12. Parameterize a query to pass in inputs at execution time. This enables you to create prepared statements and mitigate SQL injection attacks.
    SELECT * FROM Constituents WHERE Type = @param

Pseudo Columns

Some input-only fields are available in SELECT statements. These fields, called pseudo columns, do not appear as regular columns in the results, yet may be specified as part of the WHERE clause. You can use pseudo columns to access additional features from BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT.

    SELECT * FROM Constituents WHERE IncludeInactive = 'false'

SELECT INTO Statements

You can use the SELECT INTO statement to export formatted data to a file.

Data Export with an SQL Query

The following query exports data into a file formatted in comma-separated values (CSV):

SELECT Id, AddressLines INTO [csv://Constituents.txt] FROM [Constituents] WHERE Type = 'Home'
You can specify other formats in the file URI. The possible delimiters are tab, semicolon, and comma with the default being a comma. The following example exports tab-separated values:
SELECT Id, AddressLines INTO [csv://Constituents.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Constituents] WHERE Type = 'Home'
You can specify other file formats in the URI. The following example exports tab-separated values:

CData Cloud

SQL Functions

The Cloud provides functions that are similar to those that are available with most standard databases. These functions are implemented in the CData provider engine and thus are available across all data sources with the same consistent API. Three categories of functions are available: string, date, and math.

The Cloud interprets all SQL function inputs as either strings or column identifiers, so you need to escape all literals as strings, with single quotes. For example, contrast the SQL Server syntax and Cloud syntax for the DATENAME function:

  • SQL Server:
    SELECT DATENAME(yy,GETDATE())
  • Cloud:
    SELECT DATENAME('yy',GETDATE())

String Functions

These functions perform string manipulations and return a string value. See STRING Functions for more details.

SELECT CONCAT(firstname, space(4), lastname) FROM Constituents WHERE Type = 'Home'

Date Functions

These functions perform date and date time manipulations. See DATE Functions for more details.

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() FROM Constituents

Math Functions

These functions provide mathematical operations. See MATH Functions for more details.

SELECT RAND() FROM Constituents

Function Parameters and Nesting SQL Functions

The Cloud supports column names, constants, and results of other functions as parameters to functions. The following are all valid uses of SQL functions:
SELECT CONCAT('Mr.', SPACE(2), firstname, SPACE(4), lastname) FROM Constituents

EXECUTE Statements

To execute stored procedures, you can use EXECUTE or EXEC statements.

EXEC and EXECUTE assign stored procedure inputs, referenced by name, to values or parameter names.

Stored Procedure Syntax

To execute a stored procedure as an SQL statement, use the following syntax:

 
{ EXECUTE | EXEC } <stored_proc_name> 
{
  [ @ ] <input_name> = <expression>
} [ , ... ]

<expression> ::=
  | @ <parameter> 
  | ?
  | <literal>

Example Statements

Reference stored procedure inputs by name:

EXECUTE my_proc @second = 2, @first = 1, @third = 3;

Execute a parameterized stored procedure statement:

EXECUTE my_proc second = @p1, first = @p2, third = @p3;

PIVOT and UNPIVOT

PIVOT and UNPIVOT can be used to change a table-valued expression into another table.

PIVOT

PIVOT rotates a table-value expression by turning unique values from one column into multiple columns in the output. PIVOT can run aggregations where required on any column value.
PIVOT Synax

 
"SELECT 'AverageCost' AS Cost_Sorted_By_Production_Days, [0], [1], [2], [3], [4]
FROM
(
SELECT DaysToManufacture, StandardCost
FROM Production.Product
) AS SourceTable
PIVOT
(
AVG(StandardCost)
FOR DaysToManufacture IN ([0], [1], [2], [3], [4])
) AS PivotTable;"

UNPIVOT

UNPIVOT carries out nearly the opposite to PIVOT by rotating columns of a table-valued expressions into column values.
UNPIVOT Sytax

 
"SELECT VendorID, Employee, Orders
FROM
(SELECT VendorID, Emp1, Emp2, Emp3, Emp4, Emp5
FROM pvt) p
UNPIVOT
(Orders FOR Employee IN
(Emp1, Emp2, Emp3, Emp4, Emp5)
)AS unpvt;"

Data Model

Overview

This section shows the available API objects and provides more information on executing SQL to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT APIs.

Key Features

  • The Cloud models BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT entities like documents, folders, and groups as relational views, allowing you to write SQL to query BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT data.
  • Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT.
  • Live connectivity to these objects means any changes to your BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT account are immediately reflected when using the Cloud.

Views

Views describes the available views. Views are statically defined to model Actions, Emails, Events, etc..

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT. Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT, including downloading documents and moving envelopes.

CData Cloud

Views

Views are composed of columns and pseudo columns. Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views do not support updates. Entities that are represented as views are typically read-only entities. Often, a stored procedure is available to update the data if such functionality is applicable to the data source.

Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table, and the data that comes back is similar in that regard.

Dynamic views, such as queries exposed as views, and views for looking up specific combinations of project_team work items are supported.

A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"%APPDATA%\\CData\\RaiserEdgeNXT Data Provider\\Schema"

Remarks

The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the Cloud (.rsd files for tables and views, .rsb files for stored procedures). The folder location can be a relative path from the location of the executable. The Location property is only needed if you want to customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, and so on) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.

If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\\CData\\RaiserEdgeNXT Data Provider\\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:

CData Cloud

BrowsableSchemas

This property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing the schemas from databases can be expensive. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string improves the performance.

CData Cloud

Tables

This property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing the tables from some databases can be expensive. Providing a list of tables in the connection string improves the performance of the Cloud.

This property can also be used as an alternative to automatically listing views if you already know which ones you want to work with and there would otherwise be too many to work with.

Specify the tables you want in a comma-separated list. Each table should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Tables=TableA,[TableB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`TableC With Space`.

Note that when connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you will need to provide the fully qualified name of the table in this property, as in the last example here, to avoid ambiguity between tables that exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.

CData Cloud

Views

Restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing the views from some databases can be expensive. Providing a list of views in the connection string improves the performance of the Cloud.

This property can also be used as an alternative to automatically listing views if you already know which ones you want to work with and there would otherwise be too many to work with.

Specify the views you want in a comma-separated list. Each view should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Views=ViewA,[ViewB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`ViewC With Space`.

Note that when connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you will need to provide the fully qualified name of the table in this property, as in the last example here, to avoid ambiguity between tables that exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.

CData Cloud

Caching

This section provides a complete list of the Caching properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
AutoCacheAutomatically caches the results of SELECT queries into a cache database specified by either CacheLocation or both of CacheConnection and CacheProvider .
CacheLocationSpecifies the path to the cache when caching to a file.
CacheToleranceThe tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache .
OfflineUse offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source.
CacheMetadataThis property determines whether or not to cache the table metadata to a file store.
CData Cloud

AutoCache

Automatically caches the results of SELECT queries into a cache database specified by either CacheLocation or both of CacheConnection and CacheProvider .

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

When AutoCache = true, the Cloud automatically maintains a cache of your table's data in the database of your choice.

Setting the Caching Database

When AutoCache = true, the Cloud caches to a simple, file-based cache. You can configure its location or cache to a different database with the following properties:

  • CacheLocation: Specifies the path to the file store.
  • CacheProvider and CacheConnection: Specifies a driver to a database and the connection string.

See Also

  • CacheMetadata: This property reduces the amount of metadata that crosses the network by persisting table schemas retrieved from the BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT metadata. Metadata then needs to be retrieved only once instead of every connection.
  • Explicitly Caching Data: This section provides more examples of using AutoCache in Offline mode.
  • CACHE Statements: You can use the CACHE statement to persist any SELECT query, as well as manage the cache; for example, refreshing schemas.

CData Cloud

CacheLocation

Specifies the path to the cache when caching to a file.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"%APPDATA%\\CData\\RaiserEdgeNXT Data Provider"

Remarks

The CacheLocation is a simple, file-based cache.

If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\\CData\\RaiserEdgeNXT Data Provider" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:

See Also

  • AutoCache: Set to implicitly create and maintain a cache for later offline use.
  • CacheMetadata: Set to persist the BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT catalog in CacheLocation.

CData Cloud

CacheTolerance

The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache .

Data Type

int

Default Value

600

Remarks

The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds. This only applies when AutoCache is used. The Cloud checks with the data source for newer records after the tolerance interval has expired. Otherwise, it returns the data directly from the cache.

CData Cloud

Offline

Use offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

When Offline = true, all queries execute against the cache as opposed to the live data source. In this mode, certain queries like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and CACHE are not allowed.

CData Cloud

CacheMetadata

This property determines whether or not to cache the table metadata to a file store.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

As you execute queries with this property set, table metadata in the BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT catalog are cached to the file store specified by CacheLocation if set or the user's home directory otherwise. A table's metadata will be retrieved only once, when the table is queried for the first time.

When to Use CacheMetadata

The Cloud automatically persists metadata in memory for up to two hours when you first discover the metadata for a table or view and therefore, CacheMetadata is generally not required. CacheMetadata becomes useful when metadata operations are expensive such as when you are working with large amounts of metadata or when you have many short-lived connections.

When Not to Use CacheMetadata

  • When you are working with volatile metadata: Metadata for a table is only retrieved the first time the connection to the table is made. To pick up new, changed, or deleted columns, you would need to delete and rebuild the metadata cache. Therefore, it is best to rely on the in-memory caching for cases where metadata changes often.
  • When you are caching to a database: CacheMetadata can only be used with CacheLocation. If you are caching to another database with the CacheProvider and CacheConnection properties, use AutoCache to cache implicitly. Or, use CACHE Statements to cache explicitly.

CData Cloud

CData Cloud

PseudoColumns

This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This setting is particularly helpful in Entity Framework, which does not allow you to set a value for a pseudo column unless it is a table column. The value of this connection setting is of the format "Table1=Column1, Table1=Column2, Table2=Column3". You can use the "*" character to include all tables and all columns; for example, "*=*".

CData Cloud

Readonly

You can use this property to enforce read-only access to BlackBaud Raiser's Edge NXT from the provider.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

Remarks

If this property is set to true, the Cloud will allow only SELECT queries. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and stored procedure queries will cause an error to be thrown.

CData Cloud

RTK

The runtime key used for licensing.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The RTK property may be used to license a build.

CData Cloud

Timeout

The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.

Data Type

int

Default Value

60

Remarks

If Timeout = 0, operations do not time out. The operations run until they complete successfully or until they encounter an error condition.

If Timeout expires and the operation is not yet complete, the Cloud throws an exception.

CData Cloud

UserDefinedViews

A filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The Cloud automatically detects the views specified in this file.

You can also have multiple view definitions and control them using the UserDefinedViews connection property. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the Cloud.

This User Defined View configuration file is formatted as follows:

  • Each root element defines the name of a view.
  • Each root element contains a child element, called query, which contains the custom SQL query for the view.

For example:

{
	"MyView": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM Constituents WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
	},
	"MyView2": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
	}
}
Use the UserDefinedViews connection property to specify the location of your JSON configuration file. For example:
"UserDefinedViews", "C:\\Users\\yourusername\\Desktop\\tmp\\UserDefinedViews.json"
