Connect to Google Ad Manager Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Google Ad Manager 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.

Google Ads Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. You can authorize the data provider to access Google Ads Manager as an individual user or with a service account that you create in the Google APIs Console. See the Getting Started section in the data provider help documentation for an authentication guide.

You can then follow the steps below to register Google Ad Manager 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 Google Ad Manager data. Google Ad Manager entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

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