Frequently Asked Email Driver Questions

Learn more about Email drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration


The Email driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Email, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Email driver abstracts the complexities of Email APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Email data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Email Driver is different than connecting with Email through other means. Email API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Email integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Email Drivers offer codeless access to live Email data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Email data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Email data. We manage all of the complexities of Email integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Email, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Email driver offers full-featured Email data connectivity. The CData Email drivers support extensive Email integration, providing access to all of the Email data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Email data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Email driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Email API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Email as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Email is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Email looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Email connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

The Email drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to Email data. Our Email driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to Email data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the Email driver data model, please review the edition-specific Email driver documentation.

Using the CData Email drivers and connectors, Email can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Email data connectivity.

Email Analytics is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Email data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

Absolutely. CData offers native Excel Add-Ins for Email integration. These Add-Ins provide live access to Email data directly from Microsoft Excel.
