Manage Jira Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source
Use wizards in DBArtisan to create a JDBC data source for Jira.
The CData JDBC Driver for Jira seamlessly integrates Jira data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Jira data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for Jira in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
About Jira Data Integration
CData simplifies access and integration of live Jira data. Our customers leverage CData connectivity to:
- Gain bi-directional access to their Jira objects like issues, projects, and workflows.
- Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional actions like changing issues status, creating custom fields, download or uploading an attachment, modifying or retrieving time tracking settings, and more.
- Authenticate securely using a variety of methods, including username and password, OAuth, personal access token, API token, Crowd or OKTA SSO, LDAP, and more.
Most users leverage CData solutions to integrate Jira data with their database or data warehouse, whether that's using CData Sync directly or relying on CData's compatibility with platforms like SSIS or Azure Data Factory. Others are looking to get analytics and reporting on live Jira data from preferred analytics tools like Tableau and Power BI.

Getting Started
Integrate Jira Data into DBArtisan Projects
Follow the steps below to register Jira data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic JDBC.
- Click Manage.
- 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.)")
-
In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.
To connect to JIRA, provide the User and Password. Additionally, provide the Url; for example, https://yoursitename.atlassian.net.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Jira JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.jira.jarFill 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:jira:User=admin;Password=123abc;Url=https://yoursitename.atlassian.net; - Finish the wizard to connect to Jira data. Jira entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Jira data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Jira API.
