Connect to Pushover Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Pushover seamlessly integrates Pushover data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Pushover data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Pushover in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Pushover 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 Pushover Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Pushover.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Pushover (see below).
Pushover API Profile Settings
Pushover uses API Key authentication. Your Pushover Application API Token is used to authenticate all requests. You can create and manage API tokens in the Pushover dashboard at pushover.net by registering an application under Settings > Your Applications.
After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:
- AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
- APIKey: Set this to your 30-character Pushover Application API Token.
You can then follow the steps below to register Pushover 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 Pushover data. Pushover entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Pushover data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Pushover API.
