    QODBC Quickbooks online table naming convention

    Hello all, I am working with a QODBC data source from quickbooks online. I am getting an "invalid table name" error when trying to run a simple query. I think it's something to do with a prefix (like dbo_tablename) but I can't find the information anywhere on the entirety of the world wide web. Any suggestions?



    Code:
    select * from account;
    ...produces error 11025 "invalid table name"

    found this easily enough

    https://http-download.intuit.com/htt...ationGuide.pdf

    from page 4, looks like
    List Tables: have _v_lst_(list name) in the table name.Such as _v_lst_customer
    Transaction Tables: have _v_txn_(transaction type) in the table name.Such as _v_txn_check_line

    Yes, I found that file as well. I think it's specific to Quickbooks desktop, though. Quickbooks online has a surprisingly different structure in a lot of places. I tried it anyway, just in case, same error.

    Code:
    select * from _v_lst_account;

    did you read the whole file? - look further down - tables may be in a domain. Also, per the example have you tried importing a table? that will display the domain.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
