Connect to Qualaroo Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC 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 an data source for Qualaroo in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Qualaroo 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.
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;
You can then follow the steps below to register Qualaroo 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 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.
