Data Model
You can access any survey, and related data, in your account. The CData JDBC Driver for SurveyMonkey models entities in the SurveyMonkey API as tables, views, and stored procedures.
These are defined in schema files, which are configuration files with a simple format that makes the schemas easy to extend.
Using Query Processing
The driver offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to the SurveyMonkey APIs and then processes the rest of the query within the driver. The following sections document API limitations and requirements. See SupportEnhancedSQL for more information on how the driver circumvents API limitations with in-memory client-side processing.
Views
The driver models surveys and survey statistics as relational Views. Views are tables that are typically read-only.
Stored Procedures
Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to the data source. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in the data source.
