Connect to Google Tasks Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Google Tasks seamlessly integrates Google Tasks data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Google Tasks data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Google Tasks in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Google Tasks 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 Google Tasks Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\GoogleTasks.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Google Tasks (see below).
Google Tasks API Profile Settings
In the Google Cloud Console, enable the Google Tasks API and create OAuth 2.0 credentials to obtain your Client ID and Client Secret.
You can then follow the steps below to register Google Tasks 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 Google Tasks data. Google Tasks entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Google Tasks data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Google Tasks API.
