This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Quickbase in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Quickbase

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Quickbase and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Quickbase through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Connect to Quickbase by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Authenticating to Quickbase

User Authentication

Set the AuthScheme to Basic to authenticate with this method.

To authenthenticate with user credentials, specify the following connection properties:

1. Set the Quickbase User and Password.
2. If your application requires an ApplicationToken, you must provide it otherwise an error will be thrown. You can find the ApplicationToken under MyAppName > Settings > App properties > Advanced settings > Security options > Require Application Tokens > Manage Application Token.

User Token

Set the AuthScheme to Token to authenticate with this method.

To authenthenticate with a user token, specify the following connection properties:

1. Set UserToken and you are ready to connect. You can find the UserToken under Quick Base > My Preferences > My User Information > Manage User Tokens.

Other Properties

• IncludeTableReports: Determines if table reports should be listed as views.

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To connect through the Windows system proxy, you do not need to set any additional connection properties. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

In addition, to authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

• To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
• To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
• To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
• To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

Overview

This section shows the available API objects and provides more information on executing SQL to Quickbase APIs.

Key Features

• The Cloud models Quickbase entities like documents, folders, and groups as relational views, allowing you to write SQL to query Quickbase data.
• Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Quickbase
• Live connectivity to these objects means any changes to your Quickbase account are immediately reflected when using the Cloud.

Tables

Tables are automatically determined from the Quickbase.

Views

Views will be listed for table reports if IncludeTableReports is set to true.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to Quickbase. Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Quickbase, including downloading documents and moving envelopes.

Stored procedures are function-like interfaces that extend the functionality of the Cloud beyond simple SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations with Quickbase.

Stored procedures accept a list of parameters, perform their intended function, and then return any relevant response data from Quickbase, along with an indication of whether the procedure succeeded or failed.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

By default, the CData Cloud applies an order by when none is specified. This ensures that duplicate records do not get output when returning data. However, this will have a significant impact on performance for very large tables. If your use case can handle the possibility of duplicate primary keys, it is recommended to turn this off if you would like to have better performance.
