Manage LINE Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

The CData JDBC Driver for LINE seamlessly integrates LINE data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access LINE data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for LINE in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate LINE Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register LINE data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   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.

   

   Below is a typical connection string:

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

6. Finish the wizard to connect to LINE data. LINE entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with LINE data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the LINE API.
