How to pipe Odoo Data to CSV in PowerShell
Use standard PowerShell cmdlets to access Odoo tables.
The CData Cmdlets Module for Odoo is a standard PowerShell module offering straightforward integration with Odoo. Below, you will find examples of using our Odoo Cmdlets with native PowerShell cmdlets.
About Odoo Data Integration
Accessing and integrating live data from Odoo has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:
- Access live data from both Odoo API 8.0+ and Odoo.sh Cloud ERP.
-
Extend the native Odoo features with intelligent handling of many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many data properties. CData's connectivity solutions also intelligently handle complex data properties 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 driver decodes these kinds of values differently, depending upon the type of column the value comes from:
- Many-to-one columns are references to a single row within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-one columns are represented as integers, whose value is the ID to which they refer in the other model.
- Many-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-many 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.
- One-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model - they are similar to many-to-many columns (comma-separated lists of integers), except that each row in the referenced model must belong to only one in the main model.
- Use SQL stored procedures to call server-side RFCs within Odoo.
Users frequently integrate Odoo with analytics tools such as Power BI and Qlik Sense, and leverage our tools to replicate Odoo data to databases or data warehouses.
Getting Started
Creating a Connection to Your Odoo Data
To connect, set the Url to a valid Odoo site, User and Password to the connection details of the user you are connecting with, and Database to the Odoo database.
$conn = Connect-Odoo -User "$User" -Password "$Password" -URL "$URL" -Database "$Database"
Selecting Data
Follow the steps below to retrieve data from the res_users table and pipe the result into to a CSV file:
Select-Odoo -Connection $conn -Table res_users | Select -Property * -ExcludeProperty Connection,Table,Columns | Export-Csv -Path c:\myres_usersData.csv -NoTypeInformation
You will notice that we piped the results from Select-Odoo into a Select-Object cmdlet and excluded some properties before piping them into an Export-Csv cmdlet. We do this because the CData Cmdlets append Connection, Table, and Columns information onto each "row" in the result set, and we do not necessarily want that information in our CSV file.
The Connection, Table, and Columns are appended to the results in order to facilitate piping results from one of the CData Cmdlets directly into another one.Deleting Data
The following line deletes any records that match the criteria:
Select-Odoo -Connection $conn -Table res_users -Where "id = 1" | Remove-Odoo
Inserting and Updating Data
The cmdlets make data transformation easy as well as data cleansing. The following example loads data from a CSV file into Odoo, checking first whether a record already exists and needs to be updated instead of inserted.
Import-Csv -Path C:\Myres_usersUpdates.csv | %{
$record = Select-Odoo -Connection $Odoo -Table res_users -Where ("Id = `'"+$_.Id+"`'")
if($record){
Update-Odoo -Connection $odoo -Table res_users -Columns ("name","email") -Values ($_.name, $_.email) -Where ("Id = `'"+$_.Id+"`'")
}else{
Add-Odoo -Connection $odoo -Table res_users -Columns ("name","email") -Values ($_.name, $_.email)
}
}
As always, our goal is to simplify the way you connect to data. With cmdlets users can install a data module, set the connection properties, and start building. Download Cmdlets and start working with your data in PowerShell today!
