Note
This feature might not be available in all product editions.
Google Ads is an online advertising platform that allows you to create online ads to reach audiences interested in the products and services that an advertiser offers. For more information, go to http:// https://ads.google.com/intl/en_in/home/.

This connection is in early preview. It is read-only and available only in SaaS product editions. For more information on early previews, go to Early Preview Connection Types
Note
During normal selection or import of an entire table, you might encounter an error that indicates a problem with a specific column. Since some tables require filtering based on a particular column, data from them can only be ingested using custom SQL statements. In this case, you can use the problematic column as a filter in the WHERE clause of a custom SQL statement to ingest the table.
For more information, please consult the CData driver documentation for the specific table.
For more information on using custom SQL, go to Create Dataset with SQL.
Note
For filtering date columns, this connection type supports a set of literal functions on dates. You can use these to reduce the volume of data extracted from the database using a custom SQL query. For more information, refer to the pg_dateliteralfunctions.htm page in the driver documentation for this connection type.
OAuth 2.0 authentication is required.
An OAuth 2.0 web client is created for you in the Trifacta Application.
You can't create OAuth 2.0 connections via API.
You must be authorized before you connect to the Google Ads datastore.
Only the Google Ads schema is supported. No other schema is supported.
