Connect to Attio Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Attio seamlessly integrates Attio data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Attio data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Attio in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Attio Data into DBArtisan Projects
If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Attio Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Attio.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Attio (see below).
Attio API Profile Settings
Obtain your API key from your Attio account settings. Navigate to Settings > API Keys to generate and copy a new access token.
You can then follow the steps below to register Attio data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to Attio data. Attio entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Attio data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Attio API.
