Supported connection properties
Important
The Databricks JDBC Driver (OSS) is in Public Preview and will be available as open source when it becomes generally available (GA).
This article describes the connection properties supported by the Databricks JDBC Driver (OSS).
Authentication and proxy properties
The following connection properties are supported by the Databricks JDBC Driver (OSS). Properties are case insensitive.
Property | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
AsyncExecPollInterval |
200 |
The time in milliseconds between each poll for the asynchronous query execution status. Asynchronous refers to the fact that the RPC call used to execute a query against Spark is asynchronous. It does not mean that JDBC asynchronous operations are supported. |

Auth_JWT_Key_Passphrase |
null |
The passphrase for decrypting an encrypted private key. |
Auth_KID |
null |
The Key Identifier (KID) required for JWT authentication. This is mandatory when using private key JWT. |
AuthMech |
Required | The authentication mechanism, where 3 specifies the mechanism is a Azure Databricks personal access token, and 11 specifies the mechanism is OAuth 2.0 tokens. Additional properties are required for each mechanism. See Authenticate the driver. |
CFProxyAuth |
0 |
If set to 1 , the driver uses the proxy authentication user and password, represented by CFProxyUID and CFProxyPwd . |

null |
A string that represents the name of the proxy host to use when UseCFProxy is also set to 1 . |
CFProxyPort |
null |
An integer that represents the number of the proxy port to use when UseCFProxy is also set to 1 . |
CFProxyUID |
null |
A string that represents the username to use for proxy authentication when CFProxyAuth and UseCFProxy are also set to 1 . |
CFProxyPwd |
null |
A string that represents the password to use for proxy authentication when CFProxyAuth and UseCFProxy are also set to 1 . |
ConnCatalog or catalog |
SPARK |
The name of the default catalog to use. |
ConnSchema or schema |
default |
The name of the default schema to use. This can be specified either by replacing <schema> in the URL with the name of the schema to use or by setting the ConnSchema property to the name of the schema to use. |
GoogleServiceAccount |
null |
Enables authentication using a Google service account. |
GoogleCredentialsFile |
null |
The path to the JSON key file for Google Service account authentication. |

null |
A string that represents the name of the proxy host to use when UseProxy is also set to 1 . |
ProxyPort |
null |
An integer that represents the number of the proxy port to use when UseProxy is also set to 1 . |
ProxyPwd |
null |
A string that represents the password to use for proxy authentication when ProxyAuth and UseProxy are also set to 1 . |
ProxyUID |
null |
A string that represents the username to use for proxy authentication when ProxyAuth and UseProxy are also set to 1 . |
SSL |
1 |
Whether the connector communicates with the Spark server through an SSL-enabled socket. |
UseProxy |
0 |
If set to 1 , the driver uses the provided proxy settings (for example: ProxyAuth , ProxyHost , ProxyPort , ProxyPwd , and ProxyUID ). |
UseSystemProxy |
0 |
If set to 1 , the driver uses the proxy settings that have been set at the system level. If any additional proxy properties are set in the connection URL, these additional proxy properties override those that have been set at the system level. |
UseCFProxy |
0 |
If set to 1 , the driver uses the cloud fetch proxy settings if they are provided, otherwise use the regular proxy. |
UseJWTAssertion |
false |
Enables private key JWT authentication for M2M use cases where client secret authentication is restricted. |
UserAgentEntry |
browser |
The User-Agent entry to be included in the HTTP request. This value is in the following format: [ProductName]/[ProductVersion] [Comment] |
UseThriftClient |
0 |
Whether the JDBC driver should use the Thrift client to connect to an all-purpose cluster. The default value works for SQL warehouses. |
SQL configuration properties
The following SQL configuration properties are supported by the Databricks JDBC Driver (OSS). These are also described in Configuration parameters. Properties are case insensitive.
Property | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
ansi_mode |
TRUE |
Whether to enable strict ANSI SQL behavior for certain functions and casting rules. |
enable_photon |
TRUE |
Whether to enable the Photon vectorized query engine. |
legacy_time_parser_policy |
EXCEPTION |
The methods used to parse and format dates and timestamps. Valid values are EXCEPTION , LEGACY , and CORRECTED . |
max_file_partition_bytes |
128m |
The maximum number of bytes to pack into a single partition when reading from file based sources. The setting can be any positive integer and optionally include a measure such as b (bytes), k or kb (1024 bytes). |
read_only_external_metastore |
false |
Controls whether an external metastore is treated as read-only. |
statement_timeout |

Sets a SQL statement timeout between 0 and 172800 seconds. |
timezone |
UTC |
Set the local timezone. Region IDs in the form area/city , such as America/Los_Angeles or zone offsets in the format (+|-)HH, (+|-)HH:mm or (+|-)HH:mm:ss, e.g -08, +01:00 or -13:33:33. Also, UTC is supported as an alias for +00:00 |
use_cached_result |
true |
Whether Databricks SQL caches and reuses results whenever possible. |
Logging properties
The following logging properties are supported by the Databricks JDBC Driver (OSS). Properties are case insensitive.
Property | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
LogLevel |
OFF |
The logging level, which is a value 0 through 6: - 0: Disable all logging. - 1: Enable logging on the FATAL level, which logs very severe error events that will lead the connector to abort. - 2: Enable logging on the ERROR level, which logs error events that might still allow the connector to continue running. - 3: Enable logging on the WARNING level, which logs events that might result in an error if action is not taken. - 4: Enable logging on the INFO level, which logs general information that describes the progress of the connector. - 5: Enable logging on the DEBUG level, which logs detailed information that is useful for debugging the connector. - 6: Enable logging on the TRACE level, which logs all connector activity. Use this property to enable or disable logging in the connector and to specify the amount of detail included in log files. |
LogPath |
To determine the default path for logs, the driver uses the value set for these system properties, in this priority order: - user.dir - java.io.tmpdir - the current directory, in other words . |
The full path to the folder where the connector saves log files when logging is enabled, as a string. To ensure that the connection URL is compatible with all JDBC applications, escape the backslashes (\ ) in your file path by typing another backslash.If the LogPath value is invalid, the connector sends the logged information to the standard output stream (System.out). |
LogFileSize |
No maximum | The maximum allowed log file size, specified in MB |
LogFileCount |
No maximum | The maximum number of allowed log files |
Enable and configure logging
The JDBC driver supports the Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) and java.util.logging (JUL) frameworks. The driver uses the JUL logging framework by default.
To enable and configure logging for the JDBC driver:
Enable the logging framework that you want to use:
- For SLF4J logging, set the system property
-Dcom.databricks.jdbc.loggerImpl=SLF4JLOGGER
and provide the SLF4J binding implementation (compatible with SLF4J version 2.0.13 and above) and corresponding configuration file in the classpath. - For JUL logging, set the system property
-Dcom.databricks.jdbc.loggerImpl=JDKLOGGER
. This is the default.
- For SLF4J logging, set the system property
Set the
LogLevel
property on the connection string to the desired level of information to include in log files.Set the
LogPath
property on the connection string to the full path to the folder where you want to save log files.For example, the following connection URL enables logging level 6 and saves the log files to the C:temp folder:
jdbc: databricks://localhost:11000;LogLevel=6;LogPath=C:\\temp
Restart your JDBC application and reconnect to the server to apply the settings.
