Prerequisites
-
Review how sources and connections work.
-
Create a source to add this connection to.
Add a connection
-
Go to [your source] > Connections and select Add Connection.
-
In Connection type, select your database type (for example, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle).
-
Fill in the following:
-
Name: A meaningful name for your connection. Used to indicate the location of catalog items.
-
Description (Optional): A short description of the connection.
-
JDBC: A JDBC connection string pointing to the IP address or the URL where your data source can be reached. See JDBC connection string format.
-
-
Optionally, select Enable analytical queries if you want to create data visualizations in ONE Reports based on catalog items from this connection.
Available only for PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL connections.
JDBC connection string format
When setting up the connection, use one of these JDBC URL formats based on your database type. Make sure to:
-
Replace
hostnamewith your server address. -
Adjust port numbers if your database uses non-standard ports.
-
Specify the specific database or schema you want to connect to in
database_name.
| Some connections might require additional parameters depending on your environment. Consult your database administrator or see your database documentation. |
jdbc:redshift://hostname:5439/database_name
jdbc:mysql://hostname:3306/database_name
jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:service_name
jdbc:postgresql://hostname:5432/database_name
jdbc:sap://hostname:30015
jdbc:sybase:Tds:hostname:5000/database_name
jdbc:teradata://hostname/database=database_name
Add credentials
| Only username and password authentication is supported. |
-
Select Add Credentials.
-
Fill in the following:
-
Name: Provide a clear name for this set of credentials.
-
Description (Optional): Explain what the credentials are used for or provide other useful information.
-
Username: The username for the data source.
-
Password: The password for the data source.
-
-
To use this set of credentials by default when connecting to the data source, select Set as default.
| One set of credentials must be defined as default for each connection. Otherwise, DQ evaluation fails and previewing data in the catalog is not possible. |
Add write credentials
If you want to export data to this source, add write credentials. Select Add Credentials and follow the instructions in Add credentials.
