JDBC URL

URL

Required. Enter the JDBC driver connection string that you want to use, based on the Database you are connecting to. Use the appropriate syntax provided below.

Snowflake:
jdbc:snowflake://<full_account_name>.snowflakecomputing.com
See Snowflake's JDBC Connection Parameters for more information.
Redshift:
jdbc:redshift://endpoint:port/<databaseName>?<parameter1=value1>&<parameter2=value2>
For example, jdbc:redshift://endpoint:port/<databaseName>?ssl=true&UID=your_username&PWD=your_password
See Redshift's Configure JDBC Connection for more information.
Azure Synapse:
jdbc:sqlserver://endpoint:port;database=<databaseName>;<parameter1=value1>;<parameter2=value2>;
For example,
jdbc:sqlserver://yourserver.database.windows.net:1433;database=yourdatabase;user={your_user_name};password=your_password_here};encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate
=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=300;
