[JDBC Datasource]: Connectivity with Vertica

Vertica Database allows the connection by either JDBC or ODBC drivers.

Using the JDBC driver will be recommended instead of using the ODBC Driver. The Sun JDBC/ODBC Bridge Driver is meant for experimental purposes as there can be other implications with certain features unsupported.

JDBC Connection

  • Driver - com.vertica.Driver
  • URL - jdbc:vertica://(hostname):5433/(database)

Default Port used by Vertica Database is 5433.

A Sample JDBC Connection Details

  • Driver - com.vertica.Driver
  • URL - jdbc:vertica://host001:5433/Stock_Schema

This connectivity is verifed on Vertica DB 2.0.5-0 32 bit using Fedora Core 6.
