Integrate connectivity to Teradata data with wizards in IntelliJ.
The CData JDBC Driver for Teradata enables you to access Teradata as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to Teradata data in IntelliJ.
Create a JBDC Data Source for Teradata
Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to Teradata data.
- In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.
In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:
- JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.teradata.jar, located in the installation directory.
- JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.teradata.TeradataDriver from the list.
Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:teradata: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.
To connect to Teradata, provide authentication information and specify the database server name.
- User: Set this to the username of a Teradata user.
- Password: Set this to the password of the Teradata user.
- DataSource: Specify the Teradata server name, DBC Name, or TDPID.
- Port: Specify the port the server is running on.
- Database: Specify the database name. If not specified, the default database is used.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Teradata JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.teradata.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical JDBC URL is the following:
jdbc:teradata:User=myuser;Password=mypassword;Server=localhost;Database=mydatabase;
Edit and Save Teradata Data
To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor. You can also modify records in the Table Editor.
