Using the Drill JDBC Driver with SQuirreL

You can use the Drill JDBC driver with SQuirreL to connect to Drill and query the data sources configured in Drill.

To use the Drill JDBC Driver with SQuirreL, verify that your system meets the prerequisites and then download and configure the driver.


Verify that the system meets the following prerequisites:

  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 7.0 or later, installed on each machine where you plan to use the JDBC driver.
  • Drill installed in distributed mode on one or multiple nodes in a cluster with data sources configured. See Connecting Drill to Data Sources.
  • Verify that the system can resolve the hostnames of the ZooKeeper nodes of the Drill cluster. You can do this by configuring DNS for all of the systems. Alternatively, you can edit the hosts file to include the hostnames and IP addresses of all the ZooKeeper nodes used with the Drill cluster.
