Metabase Databend Driver

Installation

Configuring

1. Once you've started up Metabase, open http://localhost:3000 , go to add a database and select "Databend".
2. You'll need to provide the Host/Port, Database Name, Username and Password.

Prerequisites

• Leiningen
• JDK 21 or newer (current builds target Metabase 0.56.x and above, which require Java 21+)

Build from source

1. Clone and build metabase dependency jar.

   git clone https://github.com/metabase/metabase
   cd metabase
   clojure -X:deps prep
   cd modules/drivers
   clojure -X:deps prep
   cd ../..
   clojure -T:build uberjar

2. Clone metabase-databend-driver repo

   cd modules/drivers
   git clone https://github.com/databendcloud/metabase-databend-driver

3. Prepare metabase dependencies

   cp ../../target/uberjar/metabase.jar metabase-databend-driver/
   cd metabase-databend-driver
   mkdir repo
   mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=file:repo -DgroupId=com.databend -DartifactId=metabase-core -Dversion=1.40 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=metabase.jar

4. Build the jar

   LEIN_SNAPSHOTS_IN_RELEASE=true DEBUG=1 lein uberjar

   Notes:

   • Use JDK 21+ when compiling; newer Metabase builds (0.56.x and above) depend on Java 21 APIs and will fail on older JDKs.
   • This driver version is intended for Metabase 0.56.x and later. For older Metabase releases, use the matching driver version from the table below.

5. Let's assume we download metabase.jar from the Metabase jar to ~/metabase/ and we built the project above. Copy the built jar to the Metabase plugins directly and run Metabase from there!

   cd ~/metabase/
   java -jar metabase.jar

You should see a message on startup similar to:

2019-05-07 23:27:32 INFO plugins.lazy-loaded-driver :: Registering lazy loading driver :databend...
2019-05-07 23:27:32 INFO metabase.driver :: Registered driver :databend (parents: #{:sql-jdbc}) 🚚
