Manage Marketo Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Marketo Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Marketo data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory. 👁 The JDBC driver definition in the Register Datasource wizard. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   Both the REST and SOAP APIs are supported and can be chosen by using the Schema property.

   For the REST API: The OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and RESTEndpoint properties, under the OAuth and REST Connection sections, must be set to valid Marketo user credentials.

   For the SOAP API: The UserId, EncryptionKey, and SOAPEndpoint properties, under the SOAP Connection section, must be set to valid Marketo user credentials.

   See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide to obtaining these values.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Marketo JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.marketo.jar
   

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   👁 Required JDBC connection properties in the Register Datasource wizard. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:marketo:Schema=REST;RESTEndpoint=https://311-IFS-929.mktorest.com/rest;OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;

6. Finish the wizard to connect to Marketo data. Marketo entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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