Connect to SurveyMonkey Data from PowerBuilder


This article demonstrates how to use the CData ODBC Driver for SurveyMonkey to connect to SurveyMonkey data and execute queries in PowerBuilder.

The CData ODBC Driver for SurveyMonkey can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to SurveyMonkey data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.

Connect to SurveyMonkey 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.

SurveyMonkey uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. See the Getting Started section in the help documentation for a guide.

Create a Profile for the ODBC Driver for SurveyMonkey

Follow the steps below to use the Database Painter tool to create a database profile based on an ODBC DSN (data source name) for SurveyMonkey. In the Database Painter, you can use wizards and the UI to work with SurveyMonkey data.

  1. In PowerBuilder, click Tools -> Database Painter.
  2. In the Objects window in the Database Painter, right-click the ODBC node and click New Profile.
  3. On the Connection tab, enter a name for the profile and select the SurveyMonkey DSN in the Data Source menu.
  4. To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.

Using SurveyMonkey 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 SurveyMonkey data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:

SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC" SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData SurveyMonkey Source'" CONNECT USING SQLCA; dw_mysurvey_responses.SetTransObject(SQLCA); dw_mysurvey_responses.Retrieve();
