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