Kintone Connection Details

Introduction

Connector Version

This documentation is based on version 23.0.8895 of the connector.

Get Started

Kintone Version Support

The connector models the Kintone REST APIs as a relational database.

Establish a Connection

Connect to Kintone

In addition to the authentication values, set the following parameters to connect to and retrieve data from Kintone:

• URL: The URL of your account.
• GuestSpaceId: Optional. Set this when using a guest space.

Authenticate to Kintone

Kintone supports the following authentication methods.

Password Authentication

You must set the following to authenticate to Kintone:

• User: The username of your account.
• Password: The password of your account.
• AuthScheme: Set AuthScheme to Password.

API Token

You must set the following to authenticate to Kintone:

• APIToken: The API Token. To generate an API token access the specific app and click on the cog wheel. Proceed to App Settings tab > API Token. Click on the Generate button, an API token will be generated. You can also specify multiple comma-seperated APITokens.

• AppId: The Application Ids.

  The AppId is the number of that specific app in the sequence under Apps in Kintone UI dashboard. You can also specify multiple comma-seperated AppIds.

• AuthScheme: Set AuthScheme to APIToken.

Additional Security

In addition to the mentioned authentication schemese, Kintone offers additional security in the form of both an additional Basic Auth header, and an SSL Certificate.

Use Client SSL

In addition to your authentication information, Kintone may be configured to require an SSL certificate to accept requests. To do so, set the following:

• SSLClientCert: The file containing the certificate of the SSL Cert. Or alternatively, the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.
• SSLClientCertType: The type of certificate.
• SSLClientCertSubject: (Optional) If searching for a certificate in the certificate store, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.
• SSLClientCertPassword: If the certificate store is of a type that requires a password, this property is used to specify that password to open the certificate store.

Basic

Kintone environments using basic authentication will need to pass additional basic credentials. To do so, specify the following:

• BasicAuthUser: The basic login name.
• BasicAuthPassword: The basic password.

OAuth Authentication

If you do not have access to the user name and password or do not want to require them, use the OAuth user consent flow. To enable this authentication from all OAuth flows, you must set AuthScheme to OAuth and create a custom OAuth application.

The following subsections describe how to authenticate to Kintone from three common authentication flows. For information about how to create a custom OAuth application, see Creating a Custom OAuth Application. For a complete list of connection string properties available in Kintone, see Connection.

Desktop Applications

To authenticate with the credentials for a custom OAuth application, you must get and refresh the OAuth access token. After you do that, you are ready to connect.

Get and refresh the OAuth access token:

• InitiateOAuth: GETANDREFRESH. Used to automatically get and refresh the OAuthAccessToken.
• OAuthClientId: The client ID assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
• OAuthClientSecret: The client secret that was assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
• CallbackURL: The redirect URI that was defined when you registered your custom OAuth application.
• UseCursor: false.

When you connect, the connector opens Kintone's OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application.

After you grant permissions to the application, the connector completes the OAuth process:

1. The connector obtains an access token from Kintone and uses it to request data.
2. The OAuth values are saved in the path specified in OAuthSettingsLocation. These values persist across connections.

When the access token expires, the connector refreshes it automatically.

Automatic refresh of the OAuth access token:

To have the connector automatically refresh the OAuth access token:

1. Before connecting to data for the first time, set these connection parameters:
   • InitiateOAuth: REFRESH.
   • OAuthClientId: The client ID in your custom OAuth application settings.
   • OAuthClientSecret: The client secret in your custom OAuth application settings.
   • OAuthAccessToken: The access token returned by GetOAuthAccessToken.
   • OAuthSettingsLocation: The path where you want the connector to save the OAuth values, which persist across connections.
   • UseCursor: false.
2. On subsequent data connections, set:
   • InitiateOAuth
   • OAuthSettingsLocation

Manual refresh of the OAuth access token:

The only value needed to manually refresh the OAuth access token is the OAuth refresh token.

1. To manually refresh the OAuthAccessToken after the ExpiresIn period (returned by GetOAuthAccessToken) has elapsed, call the RefreshOAuthAccessToken stored procedure.
2. Set these connection properties:
   • OAuthClientId: The Client ID in your custom OAuth application settings.
   • OAuthClientSecret: The Client Secret in your custom OAuth application settings.
3. Call RefreshOAuthAccessToken with OAuthRefreshToken set to the OAuth refresh token returned by GetOAuthAccessToken.
4. After the new tokens have been retrieved, set the OAuthAccessToken property to the value returned by RefreshOAuthAccessToken. This opens a new connection.

Store the OAuth refresh token so that you can use it to manually refresh the OAuth access token after it has expired.

Create a Custom OAuth Application

Create a Custom OAuth Application

If you do not have access to the user name and password or do not wish to require them, you can use OAuth authentication. Kintone uses the OAuth authentication standard, which requires the authenticating user to interact with Kintone via the browser. Authenticating via OAuth requires the use of the OAuth client credentials, client Id, and client secret.

To register a custom OAuth application and obtain the OAuth client credentials, client id, and client secret:

1. Log into your Kintone and navigate to the User & System Administration page.
2. Click on OAuth under System Administration.
3. Click on the green Add OAuth Client button under Set up Advanced Services.
4. Enter in the details of the OAuth client.
5. Enter a value for the application's Redirect URI:
   • If you are making a desktop application, set the Callback URL to http://localhost:33333 or a different port number of your choice.
   • If you are making a web application, set the Callback URL to a page on your Web app that you want the user to be returned to after they have authorized your application.
6. When you have filled in all required fields, click Save.

Enabled applications are displayed in the list and the process completes.

The OAuthClientId and ClientSecret are displayed along with the information you specified when setting up the application. Record the OAuthClientID and ClientSecret for future use.

Important Notes

Configuration Files and Their Paths

• All references to adding configuration files and their paths refer to files and locations on the Jitterbit agent where the connector is installed. These paths are to be adjusted as appropriate depending on the agent and the operating system. If multiple agents are used in an agent group, identical files will be required on each agent.

Advanced Features

This section details a selection of advanced features of the Kintone connector.

User Defined Views

The connector 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.

Proxy

To configure the connector using private agent proxy settings, select the Use Proxy Settings checkbox on the connection configuration screen.

Query Processing

The connector offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to Kintone and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side).

See Query Processing for more information.

User Defined Views

The Kintone connector 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 Jitterbit. 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.
• DDL statements.

Define Views Using a Configuration File

User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The connector 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 connector.

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 Comments 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"

Define Views Using DDL Statements

The connector is also capable of creating and altering the schema via DDL Statements such as CREATE LOCAL VIEW, ALTER LOCAL VIEW, and DROP LOCAL VIEW.

Create a View

To create a new view using DDL statements, provide the view name and query as follows:

CREATE LOCAL VIEW [MyViewName] AS SELECT * FROM Customers LIMIT 20;

If no JSON file exists, the above code creates one. The view is then created in the JSON configuration file and is now discoverable. The JSON file location is specified by the UserDefinedViews connection property.

Alter a View

To alter an existing view, provide the name of an existing view alongside the new query you would like to use instead:

ALTER LOCAL VIEW [MyViewName] AS SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE TimeModified > '3/1/2020';

The view is then updated in the JSON configuration file.

Drop a View

To drop an existing view, provide the name of an existing schema alongside the new query you would like to use instead.

DROP LOCAL VIEW [MyViewName]

This removes the view from the JSON configuration file. It can no longer be queried.

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.

Work 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.

Data Model

The connector models the Kintone API as relational Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures.

Tables

Using the connector, you can work with all the tables in your account. The table schemas can be static or dynamic. The Comments table has a static schema with fixed columns, while other tables are dynamic, reflecting changes in the metadata -- when you connect, the connector retrieves table metadata from Kintone to generate the table schemas.

Static schemas are defined in schema files, which makes them easy to extend. Edit the schema file to customize the column behavior of the static Comments table, to change the data type for example. The schema files are located in the db subfolder of the connector installation folder.

Sub-Tables

In some Kintone apps, the user can add custom fields containing many records. The connector models these fields as dynamic subtables reflecting your changes.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to Kintone. They can be used to search, update, and modify information

in Kintone. For example, use stored procedures to execute operations on apps or work with files.

Views

The connector models apps in the static Apps view.

Tables

The connector models the data in Kintone as a list of tables in a relational database that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

Stored Procedures

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

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

Kintone Connector Stored Procedures

AddGuests

Adds Guest users to Kintone. This does not affiliate Guest users with any Guest Spaces, and does not send any invitation emails. To affiliate a Guest user with a Guest Space, use the AddGuestsToSpace Stored Procedure. Only Kintone Administrators can use this API.

Stored Procedure Specific Information

Kintone allows only a small subset of columns to be used in the Exec query. These columns can typically be used with only = comparison. For example:

Insert into GuestsAggregate#TEMP(Name, Code, Password, Timezone) Values('Jack', 'jack@gmail.com', '#jack@123', 'America/Los_Angeles')
Insert into GuestsAggregate#TEMP(Name, Code, Password, Timezone) Values('Geeky', 'geeky@gmail.com', '#geeky@321', 'America/Los_Angeles')
EXECUTE AddGuests GuestsAggregate = 'GuestsAggregate#TEMP'

The second way of using the Stored Procedure is by adding the aggregate itself:

EXECUTE AddGuests GuestsAggregate = '[{"code":"ax@example.com","password":"#abcd@123","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles","locale":"en","name":"John Doe","company":"Company Name","division":"Sales","callto":"skypecallto"}]'

OAuth

This section provides a complete list of OAuth properties you can configure.

InitiateOAuth

Set this property to initiate the process to obtain or refresh the OAuth access token when you connect.

Possible Values

OFF, GETANDREFRESH, REFRESH

Data Type

string

Default Value

OFF

Remarks

The following options are available:

1. OFF: Indicates that the OAuth flow will be handled entirely by the user. An OAuthAccessToken will be required to authenticate.
2. GETANDREFRESH: Indicates that the entire OAuth Flow will be handled by the connector. If no token currently exists, it will be obtained by prompting the user via the browser. If a token exists, it will be refreshed when applicable.
3. REFRESH: Indicates that the connector will only handle refreshing the OAuthAccessToken. The user will never be prompted by the connector to authenticate via the browser. The user must handle obtaining the OAuthAccessToken and OAuthRefreshToken initially.

OAuthClientId

The client ID assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

As part of registering an OAuth application, you will receive the OAuthClientId value, sometimes also called a consumer key, and a client secret, the OAuthClientSecret.

OAuthClientSecret

The client secret assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

As part of registering an OAuth application, you will receive the OAuthClientId, also called a consumer key. You will also receive a client secret, also called a consumer secret. Set the client secret in the OAuthClientSecret property.

OAuthAccessToken

The access token for connecting using OAuth.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The OAuthAccessToken property is used to connect using OAuth. The OAuthAccessToken is retrieved from the OAuth server as part of the authentication process. It has a server-dependent timeout and can be reused between requests.

The access token is used in place of your user name and password. The access token protects your credentials by keeping them on the server.

OAuthSettingsLocation

The location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved when InitiateOAuth is set to GETANDREFRESH or REFRESH . Alternatively, you can hold this location in memory by specifying a value starting with 'memory://'.

Data Type

string

Default Value

%APPDATA%\Kintone Data Provider\OAuthSettings.txt

Remarks

When InitiateOAuth is set to GETANDREFRESH or REFRESH, the connector saves OAuth values to avoid requiring the user to manually enter OAuth connection properties and to allow the credentials to be shared across connections or processes.

Instead of specifying a file path, you can use memory storage. Memory locations are specified by using a value starting with 'memory://' followed by a unique identifier for that set of credentials (for example, memory://user1). The identifier can be anything you choose but should be unique to the user. Unlike file-based storage, where credentials persist across connections, memory storage loads the credentials into static memory, and the credentials are shared between connections using the same identifier for the life of the process. To persist credentials outside the current process, you must manually store the credentials prior to closing the connection. This enables you to set them in the connection when the process is started again. You can retrieve OAuth property values with a query to the sys_connection_props system table. If there are multiple connections using the same credentials, the properties are read from the previously closed connection.

The default location is "%APPDATA%\Kintone Data Provider\OAuthSettings.txt" with %APPDATA% set to the user's configuration directory. The default values are

• Windows: "register://%DSN"
• Unix: "%AppData%..."
• Mac: "%AppData%..."

where DSN is the name of the current DSN used in the open connection.

The following table lists the value of %APPDATA% by OS:

CallbackURL

The OAuth callback URL to return to when authenticating. This value must match the callback URL you specify in your app settings.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

During the authentication process, the OAuth authorization server redirects the user to this URL. This value must match the callback URL you specify in your app settings.

OAuthVerifier

The verifier code returned from the OAuth authorization URL.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The verifier code returned from the OAuth authorization URL. This can be used on systems where a browser cannot be launched such as headless systems.

Authentication on Headless Machines

See to obtain the OAuthVerifier value.

Set OAuthSettingsLocation along with OAuthVerifier. When you connect, the connector exchanges the OAuthVerifier for the OAuth authentication tokens and saves them, encrypted, to the specified location. Set InitiateOAuth to GETANDREFRESH to automate the exchange.

Once the OAuth settings file has been generated, you can remove OAuthVerifier from the connection properties and connect with OAuthSettingsLocation set.

To automatically refresh the OAuth token values, set OAuthSettingsLocation and additionally set InitiateOAuth to REFRESH.

OAuthRefreshToken

The OAuth refresh token for the corresponding OAuth access token.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The OAuthRefreshToken property is used to refresh the OAuthAccessToken when using OAuth authentication.

SSLClientCert

The TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL).

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SSLClientCertType field specifies the type of the certificate store specified by SSLClientCert. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSLClientCertPassword.

SSLClientCert is used in conjunction with the SSLClientCertSubject field in order to specify client certificates. If SSLClientCert has a value, and SSLClientCertSubject is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. See SSLClientCertSubject for more information.

Designations of certificate stores are platform-dependent.

The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

In Java, the certificate store normally is a file containing certificates and optional private keys.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (for example, PKCS12 certificate store).

SSLClientCertType

The type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate.

Possible Values

USER, MACHINE, PFXFILE, PFXBLOB, JKSFILE, JKSBLOB, PEMKEY_FILE, PEMKEY_BLOB, PUBLIC_KEY_FILE, PUBLIC_KEY_BLOB, SSHPUBLIC_KEY_FILE, SSHPUBLIC_KEY_BLOB, P7BFILE, PPKFILE, XMLFILE, XMLBLOB

""

Remarks

If the certificate store is of a type that requires a password, this property is used to specify that password to open the certificate store.

SSLClientCertSubject

The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate.

Data Type

string

Default Value

*

Remarks

When loading a certificate the subject is used to locate the certificate in the store.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property. If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks the first certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For example, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@company.com". The common fields and their meanings are shown below.

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

Schema

This section provides a complete list of schema properties you can configure.

Location

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

Data Type

string

Default Value

%APPDATA%\Kintone Data Provider\Schema

Remarks

The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the connector (.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%\Kintone Data Provider\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:

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.

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 connector.

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.

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 connector.

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.

Miscellaneous

This section provides a complete list of miscellaneous properties you can configure.

AllowSpecialCharacters

Determines whether or not to allow special characters. If true special characters will not be replaced.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Determines whether or not to allow special characters. If true special characters will not be replaced.

CheckForSubtablesIn

A comma-separated list of Kintone apps to retrieve subtables from.

Data Type

string

Default Value

*

Remarks

Set this field to * to check for subtables in all Kintone apps. Set this field to 'None' to not search for any subtables. Kintone subtables are exposed as separate tables and retrieving the list of all subtables from the API is a time-consuming operation. By specifying only some app names in this field, the performance of the connector increases. You can also set this field to * to check for subtables in all Kintone apps, but note that if there is a large number of apps, listing the tables will take much longer.

GuestSpaceId

Restrict query results to a guest space.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This connection property restricts query results to the specified guest space.

You can find the GuestSpaceId from the connector in the SpaceId column of the Apps table. Or, obtain the GuestSpaceId from the URL when you navigate to the created space. For example, in the following URL, the GuestSpaceId would be "3":

https://xlqc1.cybozu.com/k/guest/3/#/space/3/thread/3

MaxRows

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.

NumberMapToDouble

Determines whether or not to change the datatype of number fields from decimal to double.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Determines whether or not to change the datatype of number fields from decimal to double. If true the datatype will be changed from decimal to double.

Other

These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The properties listed below are available for specific use cases. Normal driver use cases and functionality should not require these properties.

Specify multiple properties in a semicolon-separated list.

Integration and Formatting

Pagesize

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

Data Type

int

Default Value

500

Remarks

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

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, "*=*".

SubtableSeparatorCharacter

The character used for dividing tables from subtables in the format tablename + char + subtable.

Data Type

string

Default Value

_

Remarks

If an app has a subtable, it is represented as a separate table. Its name will be the AppName + SubtableSeparatorCharacter + SubtableName. Use this property to set a custom character as the separator and easily identify subtables from apps. This property allows you to set different special characters in the subtable's name without breaking your app's naming conventions.

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 connector throws an exception.

UseCodeForFieldName

Determines whether to use Label or Code for Field Name.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

If true, Code is used for Field Name.

UseCursor

Boolean determining if cursors should be used to retrieve records.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

Boolean determining if cursors should be used to retrieve records.

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 connector 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 connector.

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 Comments 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

Note that the specified path is not embedded in quotation marks.

UseSimpleNames

Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Kintone tables and columns can use special characters in names that are normally not allowed in standard databases. UseSimpleNames makes the connector easier to use with traditional database tools.

Setting UseSimpleNames to true will simplify the names of tables and columns returned. It will enforce a naming scheme such that only alphanumeric characters and the underscore are valid for the displayed table and column names. Any nonalphanumeric characters will be converted to an underscore.

UseUnitForNumericField

Determines whether to display unit with Field Name.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

If set to false, Unit will not be displayed with Field Name.
