Connect to Microsoft OneDrive Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Microsoft OneDrive 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.

OneDrive uses the OAuth authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, you will need to create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties. See the OAuth section of the Help documentation for an authentication guide.

You can then follow the steps below to register Microsoft OneDrive data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic ODBC.
3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
4. Finish the wizard to connect to Microsoft OneDrive data. Microsoft OneDrive entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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