Sure. You can find the database schema doc of OpenEMM here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/openem ... rsions%29/

customer_1_tbl contains profile information of recipients. This table also holds all user-generated columns (see table customer_field_tbl). Assignments to mailing lists are saved in customer_1_binding_tbl.

i mean we have a database. in this database the recipients change in daily basis someone else changes it. when i will start mailing i need to update this. can i do this updating automatically while i am mailing? i mean can i establish a MSSQL database connection at that time?

OpenEMM runs only on MySQL and can not access an other DBMS in realtime out-of-the-box. But you could write a script to synchronize some database content daily between your M$ SQL DB and OpenEMM's MySQL DB.
