What it can do

Lists the tables and columns the CData driver exposes for Microsoft Project data.
Runs SQL SELECT queries so the assistant can answer questions about projects, tasks and resources.
Lets you restrict which tables are exposed in the connection's .prp file.

Limitations

Needs the CData JDBC Driver for Microsoft Project, which is licensed separately (a trial key is accepted).
Read-only; CData points to its separate paid products for write access.
Project Online retired on 30 September 2026, so this route now applies mainly to Project Server.
