Connect to LINE Data in Aqua Data Studio

The CData JDBC Driver for LINE integrates LINE data with wizards and analytics in IDEs like Aqua Data Studio. This article shows how to connect to LINE data through the connection manager and execute queries.

Create a JDBC Data Source

You can use the connection manager to define connection properties and save them in a new JDBC data source. The LINE data source can then be accessed from Aqua Data Studio tools.

1. In Aqua Data Studio, select Register Server from the Servers menu.
2. In the Register Server form, select the 'Generic - JDBC' connection.
3. Enter the following JDBC connection properties:
   • Name: Enter a name for the data source; for example, LINE.
   • Driver Location: Click the Browse button and select the cdata.jdbc.api.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
   • Driver: Enter the Driver's class name, cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver.

   • URL: Enter the JDBC URL, which starts with jdbc:api: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the LINE Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\LINE.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for LINE (see below).

     LINE API Profile Settings

     The LINE Messaging API uses Channel Access Token authentication. To obtain a Channel Access Token:

     1. Log in to the LINE Developers Console at https://developers.line.biz
     2. Select your provider and open your Messaging API channel.
     3. Navigate to the Messaging API tab.
     4. Under Channel access token, click Issue to generate a long-lived token.
     5. Copy the generated token.

     After obtaining your Channel Access Token, set the following connection properties:

     • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.

     Set the following in the ProfileSettings connection property:

     • APIKey: Set this to your LINE Channel Access Token.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the LINE JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

     
     java -jar cdata.jdbc.api.jar
     

     Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

     A typical JDBC URL is below:

     jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\LINE.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_channel_access_token;';AuthScheme=APIKey;

   

Query LINE Data

You can now query the tables exposed.
