JDBC connection

The JDBC connection type enables connection to a JDBC data source.

Configuring the Connection

Host (required)

The host to connect to.

Schema (required)

Specify the database name to be used in.

Login (required)

Specify the user name to connect to.

Password (required)

Specify the password to connect to.

Port (optional)

Port of host to connect to. Not user in JdbcOperator.

Extra (optional)

Specify the extra parameters (as json dictionary) that can be used in JDBC connection. The following parameters out of the standard python parameters are supported:

  • driver_class

    • Full qualified Java class name of the JDBC driver. For JdbcOperator. Note that this is only considered if allow_driver_class_in_extra is set to True in airflow config section providers.jdbc (by default it is not considered). Note: if setting this config from env vars, use AIRFLOW__PROVIDERS_JDBC__ALLOW_DRIVER_CLASS_IN_EXTRA=true.

  • driver_path

    • Jar filename or sequence of filenames for the JDBC driver libs. For JdbcOperator. Note that this is only considered if allow_driver_path_in_extra is set to True in airflow config section providers.jdbc (by default it is not considered). Note: if setting this config from env vars, use AIRFLOW__PROVIDERS_JDBC__ALLOW_DRIVER_PATH_IN_EXTRA=true.

Note

Setting allow_driver_path_in_extra or allow_driver_class_in_extra to True allows users to set the driver via the Airflow Connection’s extra field. By default this is not allowed. If enabling this functionality, you should make sure that you trust the users who can edit connections in the UI to not use it maliciously.
