Connect to Clarifai Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Clarifai seamlessly integrates Clarifai data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Clarifai data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Clarifai in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Clarifai 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 Clarifai Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Clarifai.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Clarifai (see below).
Clarifai API Profile Settings
Clarifai uses Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for authentication. To obtain a PAT:
- Log in to your Clarifai account at https://clarifai.com.
- Navigate to your profile settings and select Security.
- Click Create Personal Access Token.
- Select the required scopes and click Create Token.
- Copy the generated token (it will only be shown once).
After obtaining your Personal Access Token, set the following connection properties:
- AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
Set the following in the ProfileSettings connection property:
- APIKey: Set this to your Clarifai Personal Access Token (PAT).
You can then follow the steps below to register Clarifai 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 Clarifai data. Clarifai entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Clarifai data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Clarifai API.
