Connect to Streak Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for Streak enables standards-based access from third-party tools, from wizards in IDEs to data management and analysis tools. This article shows how to connect to Streak using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Streak Data

1. Open the RazorSQL application and, in the Connections menu, select Add Connection Profile -> Other -> JDBC.
2. In the Connection Wizard that appears, set the following properties:
   • Driver Location: Set this property to the path to the lib subfolder in the installation directory.
   • Driver Class: Set the driver class to cdata.jdbc.streak.StreakDriver.
   • Username: Enter the username. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
   • Password: Enter the password. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)

   • JDBC URL: Enter connection parameters. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:streak: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     Use the following steps to generate a new API key for authenticating to Streak.

     1. Navigate to Gmail
     2. Click on the Streak dropdown to the right of the search bar
     3. Select the Integrations button. This will open a window where you can view existing integrations and create new API keys.
     4. Under the Streak API section of integrations, click the button to Create New Key.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

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

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.streak.jar

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

     A typical JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:streak:ApiKey=8c84j9b4j54762ce809ej6a782d776j3;

Query Streak Data and Select Tables

After establishing a connection, the wizard will close and the connection will be available in the connections panel. You can then query the tables.
