JDBC connections

JDBC connections define how an Edge capability accesses a data source.

To create a connection to your data source, you need to select a connection type, which determines the available properties of the connection, such as the authentication method and connection string and driver.

Example  If you want to ingest data from an Amazon Redshift data source, you need a specific JDBC driver for Amazon Redshift. You use that driver to create a connection between your Edge site and your Amazon Redshift data source.

Tip Collibra provides a selection of certified JDBC drivers on Collibra Marketplace. We highly recommend to only use JDBC drivers that are certified for Edge.
