Manage Sendwithus Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Sendwithus Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Sendwithus 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.

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Sendwithus Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Sendwithus.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Sendwithus (see below).

   Sendwithus API Profile Settings

   Navigate to API Settings in your Sendwithus account and select Create new API Key to generate your authentication credential.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Sendwithus 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\Sendwithus.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key';

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

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