Examples

SSIS

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

Delete rows from Files table using API Destination

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

Google Drive

Files

Delete

SSIS API Destination - Access table operation

ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Delete an item

SELECT * FROM delete_item

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 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 an item

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM delete_item';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_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

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).
