Connection Overview¶
Okera supports connecting to these JDBC data sources out of the box:
- Object Storage (e.g. HDMS, Amazon S3, ADLS, GS)
- Snowflake
- Amazon Redshift
- AWS Athena
- Dremio
- Google BigQuery
- Microsoft SQL Server
- MySQL
- Oracle
- PostgreSQL
You can also connect to a custom JDBC data source by providing your own JDBC driver.
There are three main steps to connect Okera to your data source:
- Create a connection to the data source.
- Create and run a crawler to search for datasets in the connection.
- Register the datasets that were found by the crawler in an Okera database.
This section describes creating a connection to a data source. To see the programmatic SQL commands for a connection, see Programmatic Registration.
