Manage Salesforce Pardot Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Salesforce Pardot Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Salesforce Pardot 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.

   Salesforce Pardot supports connecting through API Version, Username, Password and User Key.

   • ApiVersion: The Salesforce Pardot API version which the provided account can access. Defaults to 4.
   • User: The Username of the Salesforce Pardot account.
   • Password: The Password of the Salesforce Pardot account.
   • UserKey: The unique User Key for the Salesforce Pardot account. This key does not expire.
   • IsDemoAccount (optional): Set to TRUE to connect to a demo account.

   Accessing the Pardot User Key

   The User Key of the current account may be accessed by going to Settings -> My Profile, under the API User Key row.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

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

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.salesforcepardot.jar

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

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:salesforcepardot:ApiVersion=4;User=YourUsername;Password=YourPassword;UserKey=YourUserKey;
6. Finish the wizard to connect to Salesforce Pardot data. Salesforce Pardot entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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