Overview

Java database connectivity (JDBC) is a Java-based data access technology.

Use Snaps in this Snap Pack to:

  • Select, insert, update, and delete records in a database.
  • Create and remove databases based on the database type.
Info

This Snap Pack also supports DML (Data Manipulation Language) operations (create, alter, insert, and select) when using AWS Athena database.

Prerequisites

  • Appropriate permissions to perform CRUD operations on the database.
  • The Snaplex server should have access to database IP and Port.
  • Timestamp format must match.
  • A JDBC driver and .jar files must be installed and configured for the appropriate database to make a successful JDBC connection. The JDBC driver for each type of database you want to connect to may contain typically one .jar file or in some cases multiple .jar files.
    Contact your database vendor to get the appropriate driver. Additionally, there are third-party companies that sell commercial JDBC drivers. If you are unable to find a JDBC driver for your database, as a last resort, you may consider using a JDBC-ODBC bridge.
