Query LINE Data in DataGrip

DataGrip is a database IDE that allows SQL developers to query, create, and manage databases. When paired with the CData API Driver for JDBC, DataGrip can work with live LINE data. This article shows how to establish a connection to LINE data in DataGrip.

Create a New Driver Definition for LINE

The steps below describe how to create a new Data Source in DataGrip for LINE.

1. In DataGrip, click File -> New > Project and name the project
2. In the Database Explorer, click the plus icon () and select Driver.
3. In the Driver tab:
   • Set Name to a user-friendly name (e.g. "CData LINE Driver")
   • Set Driver Files to the appropriate JAR file. To add the file, click the plus (), select "Add Files," navigate to the "lib" folder in the driver's installation directory and select the JAR file (e.g. cdata.jdbc.api.jar).
   • Set Class to cdata.jdbc.api.API.jar
   Additionally, in the advanced tab you can change driver properties and some other settings like VM Options, VM environment, VM home path, DBMS, etc
   • For most cases, change the DBMS type to "Unknown" in Expert options to avoid native SQL Server queries (Transact-SQL), which might result in an invalid function error
4. Click "Apply" then "OK" to save the Connection

Configure a Connection to LINE

1. Once the connection is saved, click the plus (), then "Data Source" then "CData LINE Driver" to create a new LINE Data Source.
2. In the new window, configure the connection to LINE with a JDBC URL.

   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.

   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.
   
3. Set URL to the connection string, e.g.,

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

4. Click "Apply" and "OK" to save the connection string

At this point, you will see the data source in the Data Explorer.

Execute SQL Queries Against LINE

To browse through the LINE entities (available as tables) accessible through the JDBC Driver, expand the Data Source.

To execute queries, right click on any table and select "New" -> "Query Console."

In the Console, write the SQL query you wish to execute. For example:

SELECT DeliveryDate, DeliveredCount FROM ReplyMessageDelivery WHERE DeliveryDate = '20240115'
