Connect to SendGrid Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate SendGrid 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.

To make use of all the available features, provide the User and Password connection properties.

To connect with limited features, you can set the APIKey connection property instead. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide to obtaining the API key.

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

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic ODBC.
3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
4. Finish the wizard to connect to SendGrid data. SendGrid entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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