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