Connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 Data in NetBeans

The CData JDBC Driver for Google Campaign Manager 360 integrates connectivity to live Google Campaign Manager 360 data in IDEs that support JDBC. The JDBC standard enables you to use built-in data access wizards and other tools supporting rapid development. This article shows how to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 data in NetBeans. You will create a connection and edit and save Google Campaign Manager 360 data in the Table Editor.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Google Campaign Manager 360 in NetBeans

To create the JDBC data source, expand the Database node in the Service window, right-click the Drivers node, and select New Driver. In the New Driver wizard that results, enter the following information:

• Driver File(s): Click Add and, in the file explorer dialog that appears, select the cdata.jdbc.googlecm.jar file. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
• Driver Class: Click Find to search for the driver class inside the JAR. Then select cdata.jdbc.googlecm.GoogleCMDriver from the menu.
• Name: Enter the name for the driver.

     Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.

     For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Google Campaign Manager 360 JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.googlecm.jar
     

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