QuickBooks to SQL Server
-
Does anyone have any ideas of ways to communicate between SQL Server and Quickbooks? I have found a couple of products out there, but does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Adam

I suppose that I should mention: I've used the QODBC driver and it did what I needed.

Is that the version that comes with Quickbooks Enterprise or a purchased version?

We just purchased the Server version of QODBC. If we try to extract data from QB using an OPENQUERY statement in a stored procedure using a linked server it runs just one time. It leaves an open SPID which cannot be killed(have to restart the server to kill!!). Just wondering if you have had this experience. I have researched this on line and what I have found is that it is a SQL problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Synergration offers a product that replicates QuickBooks to a SQL Server database. There web site is http://www.synergration.com

Can you please tell us the steps you have used to connect QB to SQL server using QODBC. We have been working on this especially other solutions like OpenSync, but we are not having success. Any help would be great.

i had used the quickbooks driver from http://www.rssbus.com/ado/quickbooks/ so i could connect via a .NET application;
They had a decent amount of examples, and it was pretty easy to connect and view the data; from there, i could put the data in a datatable in .NET, and do what i want with it after that, for example copy all the tables to SQL server for example.
When i did that is was the version 1.0 driver, and it did work well, but one specific thing that i was looking for, which was the Relations/ Foreign key equivilent for Payments Received-to-Invoices-Paid was not exposed; That was a critical piece for the process I was building, so I stopped investigating that.
Their driver is now labeled 2.0, but it was definteily straight forward if you are a programmer.

I work closely with the development team at Synergration. I'm curious, what issues did you experience with OpenSync that inhibited your success? I'm happy to assist and curious to know so we can enhance the product moving forward.

This just brings back to mind the time when I posted somewhere in one of this site's forums, a question to see if anyone had ever figured out how to connect a Quicken database to SQL Server, and then on another occasion, if anyone had written something to process a QFX file. Still curious, as it appears Quicken has departed the scene in terms of writing a desktop application that leaves your data on your computer, and appears to be going in the direction of holding that data in their cloud. I'll be darned if I'm ever going to let them have that much of my data. Their Quicken Bill Pay service is already $10 a month, and paying on top of that for the desktop app is already ridiculous, and with their 2018 version, they now want $59/year to boot. It's really only a matter of time before I'll just have to buckle down and figure that all out, 'cause I'm not willing to place my financial data in their cloud any more than what they've already got. Anyone ever figure out how to read the Quicken database file, or how to process a QFX file into a SQL Server table?

I had to do it I don't know how many years ago. Whatever it was I used was for opening the file in Excel as that was/is the way most utilities I found worked.
I just tried to find what I used - no luck but found your post. There are still various options with Excel so you may want to try going that way., then Excel to SQL Server. This one I was curious about - he lists the manual steps in the article and has a utility as well. Free is often worth checking:
Import Quicken QFX files into ExcelSue

QFX files come from online banking - Quicken does not create QFX files or export in the QFX format. Quicken for Windows exports QIF format, and you can use QIF2CSV converter to convert QIF files to CSV or Excel format.

Follow the steps below to create a linked server from the Object Explorer.
Step 1: Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to an instance of SQL Server.
Step 2: In the Object Explorer, expand the node for the SQL Server database. In the Server Objects node, right-click Linked Servers and click New Linked Server. The New Linked Server dialog is displayed.
Step 3: In the General section, click the Other Data Source option and enter the following information after naming the linked server:
- Provider: Select the SQL Server Native Client Provider that corresponds to your version of SQL Server. For example, SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
- Data Source: Enter the host and port the TDS remoting service is running on, separated by a comma. Note that a value of "localhost" in this input refers to the machine where SQL Server is running so be careful when creating a linked server in Management Studio when not running on the same machine as SQL Server.
- Catalog: Enter the CData system DSN, CData QuickBooks Sys.
Step 4: In the Security section, select the option to have the connection "made using this security context" and enter the username and password of a user you created in the Users tab of the SQL Gateway.
This May Help,
Peter
