Connect to Brex Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Brex seamlessly integrates Brex data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Brex data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Brex in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Brex 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 Brex Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Brex.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Brex (see below).
Brex API Profile Settings
Register your application in the Brex Developer Portal at dashboard.brex.com to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.
You can then follow the steps below to register Brex 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 Brex data. Brex entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Brex data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Brex API.
