Use wizards in DBArtisan to configure Teamwork data as a data source.

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

Integrate Teamwork 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.

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

Teamwork API Profile Settings

Register an OAuth application on the Teamwork Developer Portal to obtain your Client ID and Secret. Set the Domain property to your Teamwork site's subdomain.

You can then follow the steps below to register Teamwork data as a database instance in your project:

  1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
  2. Select Generic ODBC.
  3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
  4. Finish the wizard to connect to Teamwork data. Teamwork entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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