MarkLogic ODBC Driver

The MarkLogic ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to connect with live MarkLogic databases, directly from any applications that support ODBC connectivity.

Access MarkLogic like you would a standard RDBMS database - read, write, and update through an ODBC Driver.

Use the CData ODBC Driver for MarkLogic to create datasets from MarkLogic data in Domo Workbench and then build visualizations in the Domo service.

Domo helps you manage, analyze, and share data across your entire organization, enabling decision makers to identify and act on strategic opportunities. Domo Workbench provides a secure, client-side solution for uploading your on-premise data to Domo. The CData ODBC Driver for MarkLogic links Domo Workbench to operational MarkLogic data. You can build datasets from MarkLogic data using standard SQL queries in Workbench and then create real-time visualizations of MarkLogic data in the Domo service.

The CData ODBC Drivers offer unmatched performance for interacting with live MarkLogic data in Domo due to optimized data processing built into the driver. When you issue complex SQL queries from Domo to MarkLogic, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to MarkLogic and utilizes the embedded SQL Engine to process unsupported operations (often SQL functions and JOIN operations) client-side. With built-in dynamic metadata querying, you can visualize and analyze MarkLogic data using native Domo data types.

Connect to MarkLogic as an ODBC Data Source




After creating a DSN, you will need to create a dataset for MarkLogic in Domo Workbench using the MarkLogic DSN and build a visualization in the Domo service based on the dataset.

Build a Dataset for MarkLogic Data

You can follow the steps below to build a dataset based on a table in MarkLogic in Domo Workbench using the CData ODBC Driver for MarkLogic.

  2. In the DataSet Jobs submenu, click Add New.
  3. Name the dataset job (i.e., ODBC MarkLogic Customer), select ODBC Connection Provider as the transport method, and click through the wizard.
  5. Select System DSN for the Connection Type.
  6. Select the previously configured DSN (CData MarkLogic Sys) for the System DSN.
  7. Click to validate the configuration.
  8. Below the settings, set the Query to a SQL query: SELECT * FROM Customer NOTE: By connecting to MarkLogic data using an ODBC driver, you simply need to know SQL in order to get your data, circumventing the need to know MarkLogic-specific APIs or protocols.
  9. Click preview.


Create Data Visualizations

With the DataSet Job saved and run in Domo Workbench, we are ready to build visualizations of the MarkLogic data in the Domo service.

  1. Navigate to the Data Center.
  4. In the new card:
    • Drag a Dimension to the X Value.
    • Drag a Measure to the Y Value.
    • Choose a Visualization.

With the CData ODBC Driver for MarkLogic, you can build custom datasets based on MarkLogic data using only SQL in Domo Workbench and then build and share visualizations and reports through the Domo service.
