Why teams connect IBM Informix and Odoo

Give your engineers Odoo's data in IBM Informix: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Sales Orders (sale.order), Invoices (account.move), Products (product.template / product.product), CRM Leads (crm.lead) from Odoo into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Odoo is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into Odoo with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • Push e-commerce orders into Odoo as sales orders and sync fulfillment status back.
  • Mirror invoices and journal entries into a warehouse for consolidated financial reporting across entities.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Odoo live in IBM Informix as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Odoo interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Odoo arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Odoo

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM Informix objects Odoo objects
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Purchase Orders (purchase.order) Procurement documents shared with supplier-facing systems.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Inventory Transfers (stock.picking) Delivery and receipt operations synced for fulfillment visibility.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Employees (hr.employee) HR records read for directory and provisioning syncs.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) Work items synced with external project tools.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Contacts (res.partner) The unified person/company record used across sales, invoicing, and purchasing; the anchor for CRM syncs.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Sales Orders (sale.order) Quotations and confirmed orders synced with e-commerce and external CRMs.

How the IBM Informix and Odoo connectors work

IBM Informix

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers; DRDA connectivity is also supported
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.

Odoo

Integration surface
XML-RPC and JSON-RPC external API exposing the full ORM (search_read, create, write, unlink)
Authentication
Database user credentials or per-user API keys
Change detection
Polling on the write_date timestamp every record carries; recent versions can also send outbound webhooks from automation rules
Capabilities
