Is this server read‑only?

Java must be installed, along with the CData JDBC Driver for Shopify (download separately and license with a trial or full key).

Where does the data live?

Data stays in Shopify – the server queries it live through the CData JDBC Driver; no local copy is created.

What transport does the server use?

Do I need to authenticate?

Yes. The JDBC connection string often includes OAuth; the connection string utility will open a browser for authentication when needed.
