Connect to Salesforce Pardot Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Salesforce Pardot 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.

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.

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

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