odbc (version 1.4.2)

databricks: Helper for Connecting to Databricks via ODBC

Description

Connect to Databricks clusters and SQL warehouses via the Databricks ODBC driver.

In particular, the custom dbConnect() method for the Databricks ODBC driver implements a subset of the Databricks client unified authentication model, with support for personal access tokens, OAuth machine-to-machine credentials, and OAuth user-to-machine credentials supplied via Posit Workbench or the Databricks CLI on desktop. All of these credentials are detected automatically if present using standard environment variables.

Usage

databricks()
# S4 method for DatabricksOdbcDriver
dbConnect(
  drv,
  httpPath,
  workspace = Sys.getenv("DATABRICKS_HOST"),
  useNativeQuery = TRUE,
  driver = NULL,
  HTTPPath,
  uid = NULL,
  pwd = NULL,
  ...
)

Value

An OdbcConnection object with an active connection to a Databricks cluster or SQL warehouse.

Arguments

drv

an object that inherits from DBIDriver, or an existing DBIConnection object (in order to clone an existing connection).

httpPath, HTTPPath

To query a cluster, use the HTTP Path value found under Advanced Options > JDBC/ODBC in the Databricks UI. For SQL warehouses, this is found under Connection Details instead.

workspace

The URL of a Databricks workspace, e.g. "https://example.cloud.databricks.com".

useNativeQuery

Suppress the driver's conversion from ANSI SQL 92 to HiveSQL? The default (TRUE), gives greater performance but means that paramterised queries (and hence dbWriteTable()) do not work.

driver

The name of the Databricks ODBC driver, or NULL to use the default name.

uid, pwd

Manually specify a username and password for authentication. Specifying these options will disable automated credential discovery.

...

Further arguments passed on to dbConnect().

Examples

if (FALSE) {
DBI::dbConnect(
  odbc::databricks(),
  httpPath = "sql/protocolv1/o/4425955464597947/1026-023828-vn51jugj"
)
