Automate Shopify Integration Tasks from PowerShell

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Shopify is a standard ADO.NET Provider that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time and bidirectional access to Shopify.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Shopify; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to create, retrieve, update, and delete Shopify data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Shopify data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

To make use of all the features of the data provider, provide the AppId, Password, and ShopUrl connection properties.

To obtain these values, see the Getting Started section in the help documentation to register the data provider as an application with Shopify.

1. Load the provider's assembly:

   
   [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData ADO.NET Provider for Shopify\lib\System.Data.CData.Shopify.dll")
       

2. Connect to Shopify:

    
   $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyConnection("AppId=MyAppId;Password=MyPassword;ShopUrl=https://yourshopname.myshopify.com;")
   $conn.Open()
   

3. Instantiate the ShopifyDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

   
   $sql="SELECT FirstName, Id from Customers"
   
   $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
   $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
   $da.Fill($dt)
   
   $dt.Rows | foreach {
   	Write-Host $_.firstname $_.id
   }
     

Update Shopify Data

$cmd =  New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyCommand("UPDATE Customers SET FirstName='jdoe1234' WHERE Id = @myId", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyParameter("@myId","10456255-0015501366")))
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Insert Shopify Data

$cmd =  New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyCommand("INSERT INTO Customers (FirstName) VALUES (@myFirstName)", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyParameter("@myFirstName","jdoe1234")))
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Delete Shopify Data

$cmd =  New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyCommand("DELETE FROM Customers WHERE Id=@myId", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.Shopify.ShopifyParameter("@myId","001d000000YBRseAAH")))
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
