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 cloud locations listed in the following table. The JDBC URL you configure 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.

Supported JDBC JAR Version

You can configure your Databricks Account to automatically use the recommended JDBC JAR file - databricks-jdbc-2.6.25-1.jar for connecting to your target DLP instance and performing the load and transform operations.
