Examples

SSIS

Use Google Drive Connector in API Source or in API Destination SSIS Data Flow components to read or write data.

API Source

API Source - Google Drive
Read / write Google Drive data inside your app; perform many Google Drive operations without coding, just using easy to use high performance API Connector for Google Drive
Google Drive
Delete an item
There are no parameters to configure.
SSIS API Source - Read from table or endpoint

API Destination

This Endpoint belongs to the Files table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly. Use this table and table-operation pair to delete an item:

API Destination - Google Drive
Read / write Google Drive data inside your app; perform many Google Drive operations without coding, just using easy to use high performance API Connector for Google Drive
Google Drive
Files
Delete
There are no parameters to configure.
SSIS API Destination - Access table operation

ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Delete a file

Deletes a file 

DELETE FROM Files
  WITH (Id='1gcu0hV34OTfgvcu9CFhr7Go4b35j5Mop')
  --You can get file Id by selecting from 'list_files' endpoint

Delete a file by name from a shared drive

Delete a file by name from a shared drive 

DELETE FROM Files where Name='dump.csv' and Trashed=0 WITH(DriveId='0AC00HWQH144cUk9PVA', DriveType='drive')
  --You can get file Id by selecting from 'list_files' endpoint

Delete a folder

Deletes a folder 

DELETE FROM Folders
  WITH (Id='1yDO11prsLH9DUrBTCadV6GGMJrITjF9I')
  --You can get folder Id by selecting from 'list_folders' endpoint

delete_item endpoint belongs to Files , Folders table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).

SQL Server

Use these SQL queries in SQL Server after you create a data source in Data Gateway:

Delete a file

Deletes a file 

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'DELETE FROM Files
  WITH (Id=''1gcu0hV34OTfgvcu9CFhr7Go4b35j5Mop'')
  --You can get file Id by selecting from ''list_files'' endpoint';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_GATEWAY];

Delete a file by name from a shared drive

Delete a file by name from a shared drive 

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'DELETE FROM Files where Name=''dump.csv'' and Trashed=0 WITH(DriveId=''0AC00HWQH144cUk9PVA'', DriveType=''drive'')
  --You can get file Id by selecting from ''list_files'' endpoint';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_GATEWAY];

Delete a folder

Deletes a folder 

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'DELETE FROM Folders
  WITH (Id=''1yDO11prsLH9DUrBTCadV6GGMJrITjF9I'')
  --You can get folder Id by selecting from ''list_folders'' endpoint';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_GATEWAY];

delete_item endpoint belongs to Files , Folders table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
