Connect to Azure DevOps Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Azure DevOps 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.

You can connect to your Azure DevOps account by providing the Organization and PersonalAccessToken.

Obtaining a Personal Access Token

A PersonalAccessToken is necessary for account authentication.

To generate one, log in to your Azure DevOps Organization account and navigate to Profile -> Personal Access Tokens -> New Token. The generated token will be displayed.

If you wish to authenticate to Azure DevOps using OAuth refer to the online Help documentation for an authentication guide.

You can then follow the steps below to register Azure DevOps 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. 👁 The DSN of the data source to be registered. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
4. Finish the wizard to connect to Azure DevOps data. Azure DevOps entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

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