Examples

SSIS

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

Export a file using API Source

Google Drive

Export a file

SSIS API Source - Read from table or endpoint

Export a file using API Destination

Google Drive

Export a file

SSIS API Destination - Access table or endpoint

ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Export Google Sheet to Excel (xlsx) or PDF

Export a Google files to other format (e.g. Google Sheets to MS Excel / PDF)

SELECT "Status" FROM export_file
				WITH(
                      Id='1j0HFOP4gsoE-Zbf2xN3IsPSj8wgwNtIfyyvM1_BWkW4' --//google sheet id or document ID
					  
				   --,DriveId='xx your shared drive id'  --get id from select * from SharedDrives
				   --,DriveType='drive'
					   
					 , ExportAs='application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet'
				   --, ExportAs='application/pdf'
					 , ResponseDataFile='c:\temp\sheet1.xlsx'		
					 , FileOverwriteMode='AlwaysOverwrite' -- or try 'FailIfExists' or 'SkipIfExists'					 
				))
			 --You can export files from 'export_file' endpoint

SQL Server

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

Export Google Sheet to Excel (xlsx) or PDF

Export a Google files to other format (e.g. Google Sheets to MS Excel / PDF)

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT "Status" FROM export_file
				WITH(
                      Id=''1j0HFOP4gsoE-Zbf2xN3IsPSj8wgwNtIfyyvM1_BWkW4'' --//google sheet id or document ID
					  
				   --,DriveId=''xx your shared drive id''  --get id from select * from SharedDrives
				   --,DriveType=''drive''
					   
					 , ExportAs=''application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet''
				   --, ExportAs=''application/pdf''
					 , ResponseDataFile=''c:\temp\sheet1.xlsx''		
					 , FileOverwriteMode=''AlwaysOverwrite'' -- or try ''FailIfExists'' or ''SkipIfExists''					 
				))
			 --You can export files from ''export_file'' endpoint';
