DoubleClick For Publishers Icon DoubleClick (DFP) ODBC Driver

The DoubleClick ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from DoubleClick For Publishers, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access DoubleClick data like you would a database - access all kinds of real-time performance and analysis data through a standard ODBC Driver interface.

Connect to Google Ad Manager Data in DBeaver



Use the CData ODBC Driver to connect to Google Ad Manager data in DBeaver.

The CData ODBC Driver for DoubleClick (DFP) enables access to live data from Google Ad Manager under the ODBC standard, allowing you work with Google Ad Manager data in a wide variety of BI, reporting, and ETL tools and directly, using familiar SQL queries. This article shows how to manage Google Ad Manager data with visual tools in DBeaver like the query browser.

The CData ODBC drivers offer unmatched performance for interacting with live Google Ad Manager data in DBeaver due to optimized data processing built into the driver. When you issue complex SQL queries from DBeaver to Google Ad Manager, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Google Ad Manager and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations (often SQL functions and JOIN operations) client-side. With built-in dynamic metadata querying, you can manage and analyze Google Ad Manager data.

Connect to Google Ad Manager

If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can configure the DSN using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the Help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.

Google Ads Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. You can authorize the data provider to access Google Ads Manager as an individual user or with a service account that you create in the Google APIs Console. See the Getting Started section in the data provider help documentation for an authentication guide.

Finally, set the "Map To WVarchar connection property to False in the DSN Configuration window for the driver. This configuration will allow string types to be mapped to SQL_VARCHAR and prevent SQL_WVARCHAR types from being displayed as NULL.

Connecting to the Google Ad Manager ODBC Data Source in DBeaver

  1. Open the DBeaver application and in the Database menu, select the New Database Connection option.
  2. In the 'Connect to a database' window, select ODBC and click Next.
  3. In the Database/Schema field, enter the DSN name (CData Google Ad Manager Source by default). It will be automatically added to the JDBC URL as well.
  4. Click the Test Connection button. You should receive a 'Connected' message after DBeaver has detected the DSN, along with details about the driver if the connection is successful.

Query Google Ad Manager Data

You can now query information from the tables exposed by the data source connection. You can expand the database structure in order to view all the tables. You can retrieve the table's data by right-clicking on a table name and selecting View data. The data will then be available in the Data tab.
