Manage Qualaroo Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Qualaroo Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Qualaroo data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   Qualaroo uses HTTP Basic Authentication to control access to the API. You will need your API Key and API Secret, which can be found under Account Details > Reporting API in the Qualaroo dashboard.

   Using Basic Authentication

   After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to Basic.
   • User: Set this to your Qualaroo API Key.
   • Password: Set this to your Qualaroo API Secret.

   Example connection string:

   Profile=C:\profiles\Qualaroo.apip;AuthScheme=Basic;User=your_api_key;Password=your_api_secret;
   

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Qualaroo JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.api.jar
   

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\Qualaroo.apip;AuthScheme=Basic;User=your_api_key;Password=your_api_secret;

6. Finish the wizard to connect to Qualaroo data. Qualaroo entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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