How to Query Oracle Eloqua Data in MySQL Workbench


Execute MySQL queries against live Oracle Eloqua data from MySQL Workbench.

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for Oracle Eloqua to query Oracle Eloqua data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live Oracle Eloqua data in MySQL Workbench.

Connect to Oracle Eloqua Data

If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to configure the DSN. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.

There are two authentication methods available for connecting to Oracle Eloqua: Login and OAuth. The Login method requires you to have the Company, User, and Password of the user.

If you do not have access to the username and password or do not wish to require them, you can use OAuth authentication. OAuth is better suited for allowing other users to access their own data. Using login credentials is better suited for accessing your own data.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Oracle Eloqua data as a virtual MySQL database. You will configure a MySQL remoting service that listens for MySQL requests from clients. The service can be configured in the SQL Gateway UI.
