This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Odoo in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Odoo

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Odoo and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Odoo through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Connect to Odoo 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 Odoo

To connect, set the Url to a valid Odoo site, User and APIToken to the connection details of the user you are connecting with, and Database to the Odoo database.

If you are not using API tokens (they are only supported in Odoo 14 and above), you can also provide the password in the APIToken field.

Access Rights

In order for the Cloud to determine what models you can access in Odoo, the user you connect with must have permissions to read from "ir.model.access" (an internal Odoo model that governs access rights). Normally this is reserved for administrators, but it can be granted to any user by creating a service group:

1. As an administrator, open the Odoo settings page and enable "developer mode". If this is not available you may need to login as the superuser instead.
2. Open the Groups page (under the Users dropdown) and create a new group
3. Set the Application to "Administration" and the name to "Service Access"
4. Add any users who need service access in the Users tab
5. In the Access Rights tab, add an entry for the "ir.model.access" object (it may be called "Model Access"), check Read Access, and give it the name "Inspect Models"
6. Save the group

If making this change is not possible, then you should set the CheckPermissions option to false. That will list all models in Odoo as tables, regardless of what permissions your user actually has for those models.

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.

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.

The Cloud represents Odoo models as relational tables and views. The table definitions are dynamically obtained from the Odoo site you connect to, and the exact ones that will be availble to you will be different depending upon the apps you have installed. The tables listed here are only examples, which may differ from the ones available to you.

Tables

When connecting, the Cloud determines what models you can modify and which are read-only. Models that can be modified are represented as tables, which have support for reading, inserting, updating and deleting data.

Views

Any models that are read-only are represented as views. You can read data from them the same as you would a table, but inserting, updating and deleting are not allowed.

Many2One, One2Many and Many2Many Columns

Within Odoo, in addition to columns with simple values like text and dates, there are also columns that contain multiple values on each row. The Cloud decodes these kinds of values differently, depending upon the type of column the value comes from:

Many2One

Many2One columns are references to a single row within another model. Within the Cloud, Many2One columns are represented as integers, whose value is the id that they refer to in the other model.

For example, the Calendar module inludes a model for events called "calendar_event", which has a column called "opportunity_id" that refers to an opportunity in the "crm_lead" model. When creating or updating a calendar event, you can set the opportunity_id to the id of the lead the meeting is for:

INSERT INTO calendar_event (name, start, stop, opportunity_id) VALUES ('Meet With Potential Customer', '...', '...', 42)

If you were to read this event later, the value of opportunity_id would be the number 42.

Many2Many

Many2Many columns are references to many rows within another model. Within the Cloud, Many2Many columns are represented as text containing a comma-separated list of integers. Each value in that list is the id of a row that is being referenced.

For example, the Calendar module inludes a model for events called "calendar_event", which has a column called "partner_ids" that refers to contacts in the "res_partner" model. When creating or updating a calendar event, you can set the partner_ids to the ids of the people who are attending the meeting:

INSERT INTO calendar_event (name, start, stop, partner_ids) VALUES ('Meet With Potential Customer', '...', '...', '13,57')

If you were to read this event later, the value of partner_ids would be the text "13,57" (or "57,13", since the ids can be in any order).

One2Many

One2Many columns are references to many rows within another model - they are similar to Many2Many columns, except that each row in the referenced model must belong to only one in the main model.

For example, the Calendar module inludes a model for events called "calendar_event", which has a column called "attendee_ids" that refers to the meeting invitations stored in the "event_attendee" model. Unlike partner_ids, where different meetings can share the same partners and different partners can go to the same meeting, each invitation is linked to just one event.

Currently, these columns are read the same was as Many2Many columns (as text containing a comma-separated list of ids), but they cannot be written to.

Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views are read-only.

Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table.

CData Cloud - Odoo Views

Name	Description
FieldReferences	Retrieves both single-value and multi-value references from a table.

Retrieves both single-value and multi-value references from a table.

Columns

Name	Type	References	Description
ReferenceTable	String		The name of the table containing the reference field.
ReferenceColumn	String		The name of column that refers to another field.
TargetTable	String		The name of the table targetted by the reference.
IsMultiValued	Boolean		Whether the reference column contains multiple values.

Stored procedures are function-like interfaces that extend the functionality of the Cloud beyond simple SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations with Odoo.

Stored procedures accept a list of parameters, perform their intended function, and then return any relevant response data from Odoo, along with an indication of whether the procedure succeeded or failed.

CData Cloud - Odoo Stored Procedures

Name	Description
CallProcedure	Calls a server-side RPC within Odoo.

Calls a server-side RPC within Odoo.

Procedure-Specific Information

Odoo exposes its RPCs using the External API. This API uses an XML-RPC method called execute_kw to call Odoo procedures on specific modules. Internally the method looks like this:

execute_kw(database, user_id, password, model, operation, arguments, keyword_args)

The Cloud will provide the connection information automatically, so the only parameters required for CallProcedure are the model, the operation, a list of arguments and a map of keyword arguments. The arguments and keyword arguments are provided as a JSON array and object respectively. The Cloud will take the result of the RPC and convert it back into JSON for the procedure output.

For example, you could call the 'read' method on the 'hr.employee' model to read information about specific employees. In this case you would retrieve the name and department for the employees with the IDs 2 and 4:

EXECUTE CallProcedure
  Model = 'hr.employee',
  Operation = 'read',
  -- The read RPC takes one argument, which is the list of IDs
  Arguments = '[[4, 2]]',
  KeywordArgs = '{"fields": ["department_id", "name"]}'

Calling this procedure on the Odoo sample data will return this JSON result:

[
  {"department_id": [4, "Research & Development"], "id": 4, "name": "Sharlene Rhodes"},
  {"department_id": [4, "Research & Development"], "id": 2, "name": "Ronnie Hart"}
]

Remarks

The base URL of the Odoo site you're connecting to. For example, http://my.odoo.com/.

The name of the Odoo database you're connecting to.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

When connecting to Odoo online, this value is usually the name of your custom Odoo domain. For example, if you connect to https://contoso.odoo.com, then the Database will be contoso. This property will be interpreted from the URL property.

When connecting to an on-premise instance of Odoo, you can find this value by logging out of Odoo and opening the Manage Databases page from the login screen. There, you can determine the database you need to connect to.

The edition of Odoo being used. Set either Odoo Online or Odoo On-Premise.

Possible Values

Odoo Online

Data Type

string

Default Value

"Odoo Online"

Remarks

The edition of Odoo being used. Set either Odoo Online or Odoo On-Premise. When the OdooEdition is set to Odoo Online, the driver will consider the System's culture while processing the float/decimal/double data types for Insert statements.

The Odoo user account used to authenticate.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Together with APIToken, this field is used to authenticate against the Odoo server.

Whether to use Odoo user's permissions to determine which tables and views to list.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

Each user in Odoo has different permissions to some models - they can modify some, read others, and may not be able to access some at all. When CheckPermissions is true (the default), the model permissions are examined so that modifiable models are classified as tables, read-only models are classified as views, and inaccessible models are not listed.

When CheckPermissions is false, all the models within Odoo are listed as tables and the permissions check is skipped.

Checking model permissions requires an administrator to grant your user read-only access to the "ir.model.access" model because it is not readable to most users by default. If access to that model cannot be granted to the connecting user, then set this option to false.

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

---

Property	Description
Verbosity	The verbosity level that determines the amount of detail included in the log file.

The verbosity level that determines the amount of detail included in the log file.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"1"

Remarks

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 detailed in the Logging page.

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

---

Property	Description
BrowsableSchemas	This property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC.
AllowComputedFields	Boolean determining whether computed names from Odoo are mapped to columns.
ExpandReferences	Boolean determining if multi-valued Many2Many and One2Many fields are expanded into separate rows.
ShowParameterizedTables	Show tables that require inputs.
UseDisplayNames	Boolean determining if the display names for the columns should be used instead of the API names.

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.

Boolean determining whether computed names from Odoo are mapped to columns.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Internally, Odoo stores some fields directly in its database and computes other fields dynamically when you request them. While stored fields are usually fast to retrieve, computed fields can potentially be much slower since Odoo has to do additional work on each row.

By default, this property is false and computed fields are not available. You can set this property to true if you need to access a computed field, although this will make queries (including star queries) on many tables take longer to run.

Boolean determining if multi-valued Many2Many and One2Many fields are expanded into separate rows.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default Many2Many and One2Many fields are collapsed into single values separated by commas. For example, a record in calendar_event IDs will generate a result like this if partners 13 and 57 are attending.

SELECT id, name,                           partner_ids, x_custom_ids FROM calendar_event
--      1  'Meet With Potential Customer'  '13,57'      '1,2'

With this option enabled, the Cloud will expand each combination of multi-valued field values across multiple rows. This means that row data will be duplicated but makes it simpler to JOIN between tables that are linked by multi-valued references.

In addition, the Cloud will use a separate primary key called id:multi since id) not unique when rows are duplciated. This primary key is generated client-side and its use should be avoided in filters, since it depends upon the exact rows returned by any filters evaluated by Odoo.

SELECT "id:multi", id, name,                          partner_ids, x_custom_ids FROM calendar_event
--      1:1        1  'Meet With Potential Customer'  13           1
--      1:2        1  'Meet With Potential Customer'  57           1
--      1:3        1  'Meet With Potential Customer'  13           2
--      1:4        1  'Meet With Potential Customer'  57           2

Note that this option does not affect how INSERTs are processed. If you want to insert a record containing a multi-valued field you must always insert using a comma-separated value.

Show tables that require inputs.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

When this property is set to true, all the tables or views that require inputs to fetch data are displayed.

When this property is set to false, those tables and views are hidden.

The following is the complete list of tables that are shown/hidden based on the value of this property:

• calendar_alarm_manager
• forum_post
• ir_actions_act__window
• website_seo_metadata
• publisher_warranty_contract
• board_board
• hr_leave_report_calendar
• report_stock_quantity
• res_users_apikeys_show
• account_aged_payable
• account_aged_receivable
• account_multicurrency_revaluation

Boolean determining if the display names for the columns should be used instead of the API names.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

Display names may be changed in the future. Set this to false if you would like to ensure column names are always constant.

Limits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

Limits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.

The maximum number of results to return per page from Odoo.

Data Type

int

Default Value

5000

Remarks

The Pagesize property affects the maximum number of results to return per page from Odoo. Setting a higher value may result in better performance at the cost of additional memory allocated per page consumed.

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, "*=*".

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.
