JDBC Snap Pack

In this page

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).

 

  • 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:

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.

Breaking Change

Your existing pipelines that use JDBC Snaps to integrate with Oracle or Redshift databases using the bundled Oracle or Redshift JDBC drivers will stop functioning with the 438patches28052.
Workaround
You must manually upload the Oracle or Redshift JDBC driver in the JDBC Database account to run your pipelines successfully.
Download the drivers:
OJDBC: Maven Repository: com.oracle.database.jdbc » ojdbc6 » 11.2.0.4
Redshift: Maven Repository: com.amazon.redshift » redshift-jdbc42 » 2.1.0.11

Oct 22, 2024

Latest

The JDBC Snap Pack version 438patches28052, which removed the default bundled Oracle and Redshift drivers (JAR files), is now rolled back with 438patches28541. Now, the drivers are bundled by default with the Oracle and Redshift Snap Packs. This rollback might cause a connectivity issue when connecting the JDBC Snaps to the Sybase database using the jConnect Driver. Based on your use case requirements, follow the below steps:

  • To manually upload the custom Oracle or Redshift JDBC driver in the JDBC Database account, you must use the 438patches28052 Snap Pack version.

  • To use the bundled Oracle and Redshift drivers, you must use the latest JDBC Snap Pack version 438patches28541.
