Getting Started with OData Services in ODataDB

ODataDB is a cross-platform ASP.NET Core application that generates OData 4.0 services from database metadata.

To create an OData service, add a named connection string to your application settings.

For example, this sample service uses the mssql-023 connection string:

• https://odatadb.savetodb.com/v4/mssql-023/
• https://odatadb.savetodb.com/v4/mssql-023/$metadata

ODataDB automatically creates an OData model for all available tables, views, and stored procedures. It supports SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL on both Windows and Linux.

Additionally, ODataDB includes a JavaScript OData client.

To view and edit data online, change the API root from /v4/ to the editor root /edit/. For example:

• https://odatadb.savetodb.com/edit/mssql-023/

Here’s a sample screenshot of the OData client:

You can load data from tables, views, and stored procedures, edit it, and save your changes.

We believe ODataDB revolutionizes in-house application development because a well-designed database is all you need to deliver corporate web applications.
