Use wizards in DBArtisan to configure MailerLite data as a data source.

The CData ODBC Driver for MailerLite seamlessly integrates MailerLite data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access MailerLite data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for MailerLite in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate MailerLite Data into DBArtisan Projects

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the MailerLite Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\MailerLite.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for MailerLite (see below).

MailerLite API Profile Settings

Obtain your API Key from the Integrations page in your MailerLite account dashboard.

You can then follow the steps below to register MailerLite data as a database instance in your project:

  1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
  2. Select Generic ODBC.
  3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
  4. Finish the wizard to connect to MailerLite data. MailerLite entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with MailerLite data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the MailerLite API.
