Examples

SSIS

Use Google Drive Connector in API Source component to read data or in API Destination component to read/write data:

Insert into Folders table using API Destination

This Endpoint belongs to Folders table, therefore you cannot work with it directly. Use this table and table-operation pair instead:

Google Drive

Folders

Insert

SSIS API Destination - Access table operation

ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Create a folder

SELECT * FROM create_folder
WITH
(
    "Name" = 'MyFolder'
)

Create a folder

Creates a folder

INSERT INTO Folders
  WITH (Name='My folder name'
      ,ParentFolderId='root')
  --You can get ParentFolderId by selecting from 'list_folders' endpoint or just use 'root'

create_folder endpoint belongs to 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:

Create a folder

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM create_folder
WITH
(
    "Name" = ''MyFolder''
)';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_GATEWAY];

Create a folder

Creates a folder

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'INSERT INTO Folders
  WITH (Name=''My folder name''
      ,ParentFolderId=''root'')
  --You can get ParentFolderId by selecting from ''list_folders'' endpoint or just use ''root''';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_GATEWAY];

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