Connect to a cluster #

With the ODBC driver installed, you can configure a connection to a cluster. Typically you only need the connection information. Other details such as the ODBC connection are automatically configured in many applications, or can be seen and updated in a user interface dialog.

Start querying #

When the driver is installed, you can open a connection and start running queries.

For example, if your application allows you to write and run queries, you can run the following command to see what catalogs are available:

SHOW CATALOGS;

Many client applications provide a user interface to see the list of catalogs, schema, tables, and much more.
