Connect to Google Campaign Manager Data from PowerBuilder



This article demonstrates how to use the CData ODBC Driver for Google Campaign Manager to connect to Google Campaign Manager data and execute queries in PowerBuilder.

The CData ODBC Driver for Google Campaign Manager can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to Google Campaign Manager data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.

Connect to Google Campaign Manager as an ODBC Data Source

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.

Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.

For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.
