This article demonstrates how to use the CData ODBC Driver for Stripe to connect to Stripe data and execute queries in PowerBuilder.
The CData ODBC Driver for Stripe can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to Stripe data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.
Connect to Stripe as an ODBC Data Source
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.
Use the OAuth authentication standard to connect to Stripe. To authenticate using OAuth, you will need to register an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide to using OAuth.
Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for Stripe
Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for Stripe. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with Stripe data.
- In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
- In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
- On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the Stripe DSN in the Data Source menu.
- To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.
Using Stripe Data with PowerBuilder Controls
You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve Stripe data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:
SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData Stripe Source'"
CONNECT USING SQLCA;
dw_customers.SetTransObject(SQLCA);
dw_customers.Retrieve();
