Configuring JDBC to Connect to Databricks Using Java Spring Boot and JdbcTemplate

In the world of software development, connecting to various data sources is an essential skill. Databricks, a cloud-based data analytics platform, offers a powerful way to process and analyze large volumes of data. In this post, we will explore how to configure the JDBC connection to connect to Databricks using Java and Spring's JdbcTemplate, allowing you to leverage the platform's capabilities to the fullest.

Requeirements and Preparation

  • Necessary Libraries: Ensure you have the Databricks JDBC driver and required libraries in your project. Databricks Configurations: Obtain the connection details, including the cluster URL, access token, and other necessary parameters.
  • Databricks Configurations: Obtain the connection details, including the cluster URL, access token, and other necessary parameters.

Setting Up the Java Project

  • Importing Dependencies:Add the JDBC dependencies to your pom.xml (for Maven projects) or build.gradle (for Gradle projects).


<!-- Example for Maven -->
