    NOTES

    • If the Oracle database you wish to connect to is exposed with service names instead of SID, the database name (schema.Table name) should be entered as "?service_name=dbName."

    • When adding databases with the versions and configurations specified below, the connection details should be provided.

      • Database

      Apache Spark

      Pandas

      Oracle 12.2.03 (19c, 19.1)

       

      Enter Database Name as "?service_name=orclpdb"

      MySQL 8.0

       

      Enter Database Name as "<dbname>?serverTimezone=UTC"

       

      When specifying tables from the above connections in the Import from Database node:

      Database

      Pandas

      Apache Spark

      Oracle 12.2.03 (19c, 19.1)

       

      Enter Table Name as "<schema.Table name>"

       

    • You can create connections to Amazon S3 with or without a bucket.

      •  

      In the following example, the internal connection points to Amazon S3 without a specified bucket.

       

      In this case, if you wish to import data from a specific bucket, you must specify the bucket in which your file resides in the Import Settings property of the Import Text node.

       

      Alternatively, you can include a specific bucket when creating the connection.

       

      In this case, if you wish to import data from a specific bucket, you directly provide the file location the Import Settings property of the Import Text node.

       

  5. Click Save when you are done.

    6. Your newly defined connection displays in the List of Connections page. All created internal connections are available for use with the Import Text/Import From Database nodes.
