Connect to PolarTeamPro Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for PolarTeamPro seamlessly integrates PolarTeamPro data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access PolarTeamPro data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for PolarTeamPro in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate PolarTeamPro 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.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the PolarTeamPro Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\PolarTeamPro.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for PolarTeamPro (see below).
PolarTeamPro API Profile Settings
Create an OAuth app at admin.polaraccesslink.com by clicking Create New Application. The system will issue your Client ID and Client Secret upon registration.
You can then follow the steps below to register PolarTeamPro data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to PolarTeamPro data. PolarTeamPro entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with PolarTeamPro data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the PolarTeamPro API.
