Connect to Bannerbear Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Bannerbear seamlessly integrates Bannerbear data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Bannerbear data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Bannerbear in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Bannerbear 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 Bannerbear Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Bannerbear.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Bannerbear (see below).
Bannerbear API Profile Settings
Retrieve your API keys from the Bannerbear dashboard. Specify the key type (Project or Master) via the KeyType property.
You can then follow the steps below to register Bannerbear 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 Bannerbear data. Bannerbear entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Bannerbear data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Bannerbear API.
