Outreach.io Icon Outreach.io ODBC Driver

The Outreach.io ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live data from Outreach.io, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access Outreach.io data like you would a database - read, write, and update Outreach.io 0, etc. through a standard ODBC Driver interface.

Connect to Outreach.io Data from PowerBuilder



This article demonstrates how to use the CData ODBC Driver for Outreach.io to connect to Outreach.io data and execute queries in PowerBuilder.

The CData ODBC Driver for Outreach.io can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to Outreach.io data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.

Connect to Outreach.io as an ODBC Data Source

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.

You must use OAuth to authenticate with Outreach. Set the InitiateOAuth connection property to "GETANDREFRESH". For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.

Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for Outreach.io

Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for Outreach.io. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with Outreach.io data.

  1. In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
  2. In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
  3. On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the Outreach.io DSN in the Data Source menu.
  4. To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.

Using Outreach.io Data with PowerBuilder Controls

You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve Outreach.io data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:

SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC" SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData Outreach Source'" CONNECT USING SQLCA; dw_accounts.SetTransObject(SQLCA); dw_accounts.Retrieve();
