Connect to ClickUp Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate ClickUp 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.

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

ClickUp API Profile Settings

In order to authenticate to ClickUp, you'll need to provide your API Key. You can find this token in your user settings, under the Apps section. At the top of the page you have the option to generate a personal token. Set the API Key to your personal token in the ProfileSettings property to connect.

You can then follow the steps below to register ClickUp 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.
4. Finish the wizard to connect to ClickUp data. ClickUp entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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