Manage Notion Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Notion Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Notion 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. 👁 The JDBC driver definition in the Register Datasource wizard. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Notion Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Notion.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Notion (see below).

   Notion API Profile Settings

   Go to https://www.notion.so/my-integrations, create an internal integration, configure the name and workspace, then copy the Internal Integration Token from the Secrets section.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

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

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.api.jar
   

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

   👁 Required JDBC connection properties in the Register Datasource wizard. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\Notion.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_integration_token';

6. Finish the wizard to connect to Notion data. Notion entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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