Manage Streak Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Streak Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Streak 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.

   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.

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:streak:ApiKey=8c84j9b4j54762ce809ej6a782d776j3;
6. Finish the wizard to connect to Streak data. Streak entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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