DataGrip

You can run SQL from DataGrip to explore your data through Dremio. DataGrip supports connections to Dremio through the JDBC Driver for Arrow Flight SQL.

Supported Versions​

Dremio connectivity is supported from DataGrip running on Windows, macOS, or Linux. It is recommended that you use the latest available version of DataGrip. You must be on Dremio 24.0.0 or later.

Supported Authentication Methods​

You can authenticate your connection to Dremio using your Dremio username and password.

Prerequisites​

Download the JDBC Driver for Apache Arrow Flight SQL.

Connecting to Dremio​

  1. Create a project in DataGrip (see Quick start with DataGrip for more information).

  2. Open the Database Explorer, click the + icon, then click Driver and Data Source.

    Add Driver and Data Source

  3. Select the Drivers tab, then click + to add a new driver.
