Connect to Salesforce Pardot Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for Salesforce Pardot enables standards-based access from third-party tools, from wizards in IDEs to data management and analysis tools. This article shows how to connect to Salesforce Pardot using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Salesforce Pardot Data

1. Open the RazorSQL application and, in the Connections menu, select Add Connection Profile -> Other -> JDBC.
2. In the Connection Wizard that appears, set the following properties:
   • Driver Location: Set this property to the path to the lib subfolder in the installation directory.
   • Driver Class: Set the driver class to cdata.jdbc.salesforcepardot.SalesforcePardotDriver.
   • Username: Enter the username. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
   • Password: Enter the password. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)

   • JDBC URL: Enter connection parameters. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:salesforcepardot: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     Salesforce Pardot supports connecting through API Version, Username, Password and User Key.

     • ApiVersion: The Salesforce Pardot API version which the provided account can access. Defaults to 4.
     • User: The Username of the Salesforce Pardot account.
     • Password: The Password of the Salesforce Pardot account.
     • UserKey: The unique User Key for the Salesforce Pardot account. This key does not expire.
     • IsDemoAccount (optional): Set to TRUE to connect to a demo account.

     Accessing the Pardot User Key

     The User Key of the current account may be accessed by going to Settings -> My Profile, under the API User Key row.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

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

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.salesforcepardot.jar
     

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

     A typical JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:salesforcepardot:ApiVersion=4;User=YourUsername;Password=YourPassword;UserKey=YourUserKey;

Query Salesforce Pardot Data and Select Tables

After establishing a connection, the wizard will close and the connection will be available in the connections panel. You can then query the tables.
