Connect to Mailgun Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Mailgun 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 Mailgun Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Mailgun.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Mailgun (see below).

Generate an API key in your Mailgun account by selecting Account Settings > API Security > Create Key from the account dropdown menu.

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