Manage Tableau CRM Analytics Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Tableau CRM Analytics Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Tableau CRM Analytics 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.

   Tableau CRM Analytics uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. You will need to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret by registering an app with Tableau CRM Analytics.

   See the Getting Started section of the Help documentation for an authentication guide.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

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

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.tableaucrm.jar

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

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:tableaucrm:OAuthClientId=MyConsumerKey;OAuthClientSecret=MyConsumerSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
6. Finish the wizard to connect to Tableau CRM Analytics data. Tableau CRM Analytics entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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