Vertica connection

Last updated: Nov 21, 2024

Vertica connection

To access your data in Vertica, create a connection asset for it.

Vertica is a column-oriented analytics database that manages large volumes of data with fast query performance for data warehouses and other query-intensive applications.

Supported versions

24.1.0-0

Create a connection to Vertica

To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:

Database name
Hostname or IP address
Port number
Username and password
Retry limit: Specify the maximum number of retry connection attempts
Query timeout
SSL certificate (if required by the database server)

For Private connectivity, to connect to a database that is not externalized to the internet (for example, behind a firewall), you must set up a secure connection.

Choose the method for creating a connection based on where you are in the platform

In a project: Click Assets > New asset > Connect to a data source. See Adding a connection to a project.

In a catalog: Click Add to catalog > Connection. See Adding a connection asset to a catalog.

In a deployment space: Click Import assets > Data access > Connection. See Adding data assets to a deployment space.

In the Platform assets catalog: Click New connection. See Adding platform connections.

Next step: Add data assets from the connection
