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

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

Connect to Salesforce Pardot 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.

Salesforce Pardot supports connecting through API Version, Username, Password and User Key.

  • ApiVersion: The Salesforce Pardot API version which the provided account can access. Defaults to 4.
  • User: The Username of the Salesforce Pardot account.
  • Password: The Password of the Salesforce Pardot account.
  • UserKey: The unique User Key for the Salesforce Pardot account. This key does not expire.
  • IsDemoAccount (optional): Set to TRUE to connect to a demo account.

Accessing the Pardot User Key

The User Key of the current account may be accessed by going to Settings -> My Profile, under the API User Key row.

Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for Salesforce Pardot

  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 Salesforce Pardot DSN in the Data Source menu.
  4. To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.

Using Salesforce Pardot 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 Salesforce Pardot data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:

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