Connect to Chargebee Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Chargebee seamlessly integrates Chargebee data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Chargebee data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Chargebee in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Chargebee 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 Chargebee Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Chargebee.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Chargebee (see below).
Chargebee API Profile Settings
Generate an API Key from your Chargebee account via Settings > Configure Chargebee > API Keys and Webhooks. Your site name is the subdomain from your Chargebee account URL.
You can then follow the steps below to register Chargebee 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 Chargebee data. Chargebee entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Chargebee data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Chargebee API.
