Create an ODBC DSN-less connection string for the Databricks ODBC Driver (Simba)

This page describes how to create an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN)-less connection string for the Databricks ODBC Driver.

To create an ODBC DSN-less connection string, construct the string in the following format. Line breaks have been added for readability. The string must not contain these line breaks:

Driver=<path-to-driver>;
Host=<server-hostname>;
Port=443;
HTTPPath=<http-path>;
SSL=1;
ThriftTransport=2;
<setting1>=<value1>;
<setting2>=<value2>;
<settingN>=<valueN>

• To get the value for <path-to-driver>, see Download and install the Databricks ODBC Driver (Simba).
• To get the values for <server-hostname> and <http-path>, see Compute settings for the Databricks ODBC Driver (Simba).
• <setting>=<value> is one or more pairs of authentication settings and any special or advanced driver capability settings.
