Get the Report →Operational Reporting on Presto Data from Spotfire Server
Create and share Spotfire data visualizations with real-time connectivity to remote Presto data.
You can gain real-time access to Presto data from your enterprise reporting solution with the CData JDBC Driver for Presto's drop-in install into your Java reporting server. Use the data source template in this article to expand your Spotfire library to include remote Presto data. You can then create and share real-time data visualizations that reflect any changes to Presto data.
About Presto Data Integration
Accessing and integrating live data from Trino and Presto SQL engines has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:
- Access data from Trino v345 and above (formerly PrestoSQL) and Presto v0.242 and above (formerly PrestoDB)
- Read and write access all of the data underlying your Trino or Presto instances
- Optimized query generation for maximum throughput.
Presto and Trino allow users to access a variety of underlying data sources through a single endpoint. When paired with CData connectivity, users get pure, SQL-92 access to their instances, allowing them to integrate business data with a data warehouse or easily access live data directly from their preferred tools, like Power BI and Tableau.
In many cases, CData's live connectivity surpasses the native import functionality available in tools. One customer was unable to effectively use Power BI due to the size of the datasets needed for reporting. When the company implemented the CData Power BI Connector for Presto they were able to generate reports in real-time using the DirectQuery connection mode.
Getting Started
Connect to Presto as a JDBC Data Source
To install the CData JDBC Driver for Presto on Spotfire Server, drop the driver JAR into the classpath and use the data source template in this section.
-
To add the driver to Spotfire Server's classpath, copy the driver JAR from the lib subfolder in the driver installation folder to the lib subfolder for your Spotfire Server installation: For example, MySpotfireServerHomeDirectory/tomcat/lib.
Note that the .lic file must be located in the same folder as the JAR.
- In the TIBCO Spotfire Server Configuration Tool, click the Configuration tab and select data source templates in the Configuration Start node.
- Create a new data source template with the following:
<jdbc-type-settings> <type-name>presto</type-name> <driver>cdata.jdbc.presto.PrestoDriver</driver> <connection-url-pattern>jdbc:presto:</connection-url-pattern> <ping-command>SELECT * FROM Projects LIMIT 1</ping-command> <connection-properties> <connection-property> <key>Server</key> <value>127.0.0.1</value> </connection-property> <connection-property> <key>Port</key> <value>8080</value> </connection-property> </connection-properties> <fetch-size>10000</fetch-size> <batch-size>100</batch-size> <max-column-name-length>32</max-column-name-length> <table-types>TABLE, VIEW</table-types> <supports-catalogs>true</supports-catalogs> <supports-schemas>true</supports-schemas> <supports-procedures>false</supports-procedures> <supports-distinct>true</supports-distinct> <supports-order-by>true</supports-order-by> <column-name-pattern>"$$name$$"</column-name-pattern> <table-name-pattern>"$$name$$"</table-name-pattern> <schema-name-pattern>"$$name$$"</schema-name-pattern> <catalog-name-pattern>"$$name$$"</catalog-name-pattern> <procedure-name-pattern>"$$name$$"</procedure-name-pattern> <column-alias-pattern>"$$name$$"</column-alias-pattern> <string-literal-quote>'</string-literal-quote> <max-in-clause-size>1000</max-in-clause-size> <condition-list-threshold>10000</condition-list-threshold> <expand-in-clause>false</expand-in-clause> <table-expression-pattern>[$$catalog$$.][$$schema$$.]$$table$$</table-expression-pattern> <procedure-expression-pattern>[$$catalog$$.][$$schema$$.]$$procedure$$</procedure-expression-pattern> <procedure-table-jdbc-type>0</procedure-table-jdbc-type> <procedure-table-type-name></procedure-table-type-name> <date-format-expression>$$value$$</date-format-expression> <date-literal-format-expression>'$$value$$'</date-literal-format-expression> <time-format-expression>$$value$$</time-format-expression> <time-literal-format-expression>'$$value$$'</time-literal-format-expression> <date-time-format-expression>$$value$$</date-time-format-expression> <date-time-literal-format-expression>'$$value$$'</date-time-literal-format-expression> <java-to-sql-type-conversions>VARCHAR($$value$$) VARCHAR(255) INTEGER BIGINT REAL DOUBLE PRECISION DATE TIME TIMESTAMP</java-to-sql-type-conversions> <temp-table-name-pattern>$$name$$#TEMP</temp-table-name-pattern> <create-temp-table-command>CREATE TABLE $$name$$#TEMP $$column_list$$</create-temp-table-command> <drop-temp-table-command>DROP TABLE $$name$$#TEMP</drop-temp-table-command> <data-source-authentication>false</data-source-authentication> <lob-threshold>-1</lob-threshold> <use-ansii-style-outer-join>false</use-ansii-style-outer-join> <credentials-timeout>86400</credentials-timeout> </jdbc-type-settings>
- Restart the Spotfire Server service.
The driver's support for standard SQL integrates real-time connectivity to Presto data into the familiar interfaces of the Spotfire Platform. To access Presto data from Spotfire Professional and other applications, including Jaspersoft Studio, create information links in the Information Designer.
As you select columns and filters, Spotfire Server builds the information link's underlying SQL query. Click Open Data to load the data into Spotfire.
Report authors can then build Presto visualizations based on Spotfire data tables without writing SQL queries by hand. Report viewers can rely on accurate and current Presto data.
