Overview

The JDBC Snap Pack enables seamless integration and data connectivity with diverse databases through JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) technology. This Snap Pack supports DCL commands (Grant and Revoke).

In this Section

This Snap Pack supports integration with AWS Athena database; however, it supports only create, alter, insert, and select operations.
Athena JDBC Driver 1.x versions are deprecated, and the Generic JDBC Snaps are incompatible with the Athena JDBC 1.x drivers. Hence, we recommend you to use Athena JDBC Driver 2.x or higher version when connecting to the Athena database.

This Snap Pack contains the following Snaps:

Generic JDBC - Execute: Execute a SQL statement/query against a SQL database.
Generic JDBC - Select: Retrieves data from a SQL database by executing a SQL SELECT statement/query.
Generic JDBC - Update: Updates data in a SQL database by executing a SQL UPDATE statement/query.
Generic JDBC - Insert: Inserts data into a SQL database by executing a SQL INSERT statement/query.

Prerequisites

Appropriate permissions to perform CRUD operations on the database.
The Snaplex should have access to database IP and Port.
Timestamp format with respect to the database you are connecting 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.
