Connect to Databricks Data in DBArtisan


Use wizards in DBArtisan to configure Databricks data as a data source.

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

Integrate Databricks 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 connect to a Databricks cluster, set the properties as described below.

Note: The needed values can be found in your Databricks instance by navigating to Clusters, and selecting the desired cluster, and selecting the JDBC/ODBC tab under Advanced Options.

  • Server: Set to the Server Hostname of your Databricks cluster.
  • HTTPPath: Set to the HTTP Path of your Databricks cluster.
  • Token: Set to your personal access token (this value can be obtained by navigating to the User Settings page of your Databricks instance and selecting the Access Tokens tab).

You can then follow the steps below to register Databricks 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 Databricks data. Databricks entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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