Overview

You must create Databricks accounts to connect to Databricks Snaps in your Pipelines with the source or target CDWs (databases). This account enables you to write-and-transform data in the target databases hosted in the following cloud locations. The JDBC URL you define for your target database indicates the respective cloud location where the database is hosted. You can configure your Databricks accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.

Different settings are required to access your target database depending on your target database type. Choose your database type from the following list to configure your Snap account.

• Azure Synapse

• BigQuery

• Databricks Lakehouse Platform (DLP)

• Redshift

• Snowflake

Snap-Account Compatibility

Snaps in the Databricks Snap Pack work with different accounts and protocols per the following table.

Configuring Databricks Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag a Databricks Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.

Selecting an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

1. In the Account tab, click the List   icon to view the accounts to which you have access, and select the account that you want to use. 
   

2. Click the Save icon.

4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.

5. Click Apply to complete configuring the Databricks account.

Configuring Databricks Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.

1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click  Create > Account > Databricks, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type appears.
   

   

2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section.

Account Settings

Supported JDBC JAR Versions

You can configure your Databricks Account to automatically use an appropriate JDBC JAR file for connecting to your target database and performing the load and transform operations.
