Smartsheet ODBC Driver

⚡ Key Benefits

• SQL over Smartsheet APIs — Work with sheets, rows, columns, reports, and workspace objects using familiar SELECT-style workflows in the driver
• Flexible authentication — OAuth (Dynamic Token) and Static Token options in the DSN wizard
• Query Builder UI — Pick virtual tables or actions, set parameters, preview rows, and copy generated SQL
• Broad tool support — Same DSN for Power BI, Excel, SQL Server, SSIS, and other ODBC consumers
• Action catalog — Connector page lists how-to operations for Smartsheet entities and write flows
• Centralized access — Share the driver via ZappySys Data Gateway for JDBC, Linux, or remote clients without local installs

🔗 Seamless SQL Query Integration

-- Read sheets (Smartsheet / ODBC)
SELECT *
FROM Sheets --Where Id='5815807987847055'

🔧 Key Features

Read & query Smartsheet data

• SELECT against virtual tables and views surfaced for sheets, rows, columns, reports, and related Smartsheet entities
• Use the Query Builder to choose an endpoint, supply parameters, and preview results before you paste SQL into your app
• Prefer server-side filters via Query Builder parameters when the API supports them for faster, smaller result sets

Write & operational actions

• Invoke add/update and other write-oriented virtual tables using the SQL patterns documented on the connector how-to pages
• Combine with other ODBC drivers or staging tables when you prepare data in SQL Server before calling Smartsheet-backed actions

Authentication

• OAuth (Dynamic Token) for app-based delegated access
• Static Token for direct account-level integrations where token governance allows it
• Configure client ID/secret or access token and retry options through the DSN wizard as documented on the connector page

Platform & deployment

• Standard ODBC 3.x for BI, ETL, and custom .NET or C++ clients on Windows
• Optional Data Gateway when the driver cannot be installed on the machine that issues SQL

💡 Common Use Cases

Typical scenarios for the Smartsheet ODBC Driver:

• Project dashboard feeds: Pull sheet and row data into BI tools for status and KPI reporting.
  Example: scheduled export of milestones, owners, and completion metrics.
• Portfolio analytics: Load Smartsheet records into SQL Server for cross-project trend analysis.
  Example: weekly variance reporting by business unit and program.
• Operational updates: Push ETL-calculated values back to Smartsheet rows.
  Example: update health indicators and progress fields after nightly calculations.
• Cross-system planning sync: Align Smartsheet data with ERP, HR, or ticketing platforms.
  Example: unify resource plans with delivery and issue-tracking data.
• Enterprise gateway patterns: Host the DSN on Data Gateway for JDBC or remote teams.
  Example: Java services querying Smartsheet through a centralized gateway DSN.
• Governance and audit: Capture change snapshots and key field history for compliance reporting.
  Example: track structural updates across high-impact planning sheets.

🎯 Summary

Bring Smartsheet into the ODBC stack your team already runs.
Configure authentication once in the DSN wizard, generate SQL from the Query Builder, and reuse the same connection across BI, databases, and ETL — without hand-maintained API code.
