Databricks JDBC Driver
Databricks JDBC, the first version of the driver, is a Simba driver developed by insightsoftware. It enables you to connect participating apps, tools, clients, SDKs, and APIs to Azure Databricks through Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), an industry-standard specification for accessing database management systems.
This article and its related articles supplement the information in the Databricks JDBC Driver Guide, available online in PDF format and in your JDBC Driver download’s docs directory.
Note
Azure Databricks also provides an ODBC Driver. See Databricks ODBC Driver.
The process for using the JDBC driver is as follows:
- Download and reference the JDBC driver, depending on your target operating system. See Download and reference the Databricks JDBC Driver.
- Gather and store configuration settings for your target Azure Databricks compute resource (an Azure Databricks cluster or a Databricks SQL warehouse), your target Azure Databricks authentication type, and any special or advanced driver capabilities, as a JDBC connection URL or as a programmatic collection of JDBC connection properties. Whether you use a connection URL or a collection of connection properties will depend on the requirements of your target app, tool, client, SDK, or API. See:
- To use your connection URL or collection of connection properties with your target app, tool, client, SDK, or API, see Technology partners or your provider’s documentation.
