Getting Started
Connect to HubSpot 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.
HubSpot uses the OAuth authentication standard. You can use the embedded OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL or you can obtain your own by registering an app.
See the Getting Started chapter of the help documentation for a guide to using OAuth.
Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for HubSpot
Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for HubSpot. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with HubSpot data.
- In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
- In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
- On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the HubSpot DSN in the Data Source menu.
- To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.
Using HubSpot Data with PowerBuilder Controls
You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve HubSpot data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:
SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData HubSpot Source'"
CONNECT USING SQLCA;
dw_prospects.SetTransObject(SQLCA);
dw_prospects.Retrieve();
