Importing from other ODBC Supported Databases
To import e-mail addresses from other ODBC supported databases:
- Start the Import Wizard, select ODBC Supported Databases and click Next.
- Select the Other option and then select the ODBC Driver to use for importing e-mails and click Next. The databases that you can select will depend on the selected ODBC Driver and its capabilities. Smart Email Verifier does not check if the correct driver was selected for a Database type. It will simply attempt to use the driver and any error resulting from this usage will be reported.
- Select the database. You can either browse for it or connect to it. The method of Database selection will depend on the selected ODBC Driver. All tables in the database will be listed.
- Select the table from which you want to import e-mails and click Next.
- Select the field from where you want to import e-mails addresses.
- You may choose to import the entire database or you may specify the record numbers of the first and the last record to import. It may be necessary to break up a huge database into chunks.
- To add the e-mail addresses from the database to the already open session, select Append to the current session. To add them to a new session select Open as new session and click Finish to start importing.
Note
Smart Email Verifier is designed to handle large numbers of e-mail addresses you import from different supported databases. The number imported is equal to the number of records in a database multiplied by the number of fields selected.
Example 1
If three fields are selected and the database contains 1000 records then the total number of e-mails to be imported is 1000 x 3 = 3000.
Example 2
If two fields are selected and the From and To record numbers are 1001 and 2000 respectively then the total number of e-mails to be imported is (2000 - 1001 + 1) x 2 = 2000. One is added to the difference to include the first and last e-mails (include the bounds).
Smart Email Verifier will not add addresses if they are blank or already present in the E-mail List.
