Hybrid Data Pipeline
Version 4.6
Documentation

The examples in this topic use the following table structure:

Customer ---> Order ---> OrderItem
				|
				---> Contact

$links navigation is similar to Resource path navigation except that instead of returning the data for the referenced resource, a link to the referenced resource is returned.

For example, a query that lists the orders of a particular customer could be written as:

https://<myserver>:<port>/api/odata/SQLServerDS/Customers('3')/$links/Orders

where <myserver> is the DSN name or the IP address of the machine where Hybrid Data Pipeline is installed.

This returns links to the orders that belong to customer 3.
