Trino Connections

Trinois a distributed SQL query engine designed to query large data sets distributed over one or more heterogeneous data sources. For more information, seehttps://trino.io/.

Tip

This connection is in early preview. It is read-only and available only in SaaS product editions. For more information on early previews, see Early Preview Connection Types.

Limitations and Requirements

Note

During normal selection or import of an entire table, you may encounter an error indicating a problem with a specific column. Since some tables require filtering based on a particular column, data from them can only be ingested using custom SQL statements. In this case, the problematic column can be used as a filter in the WHERE clause of a custom SQL statement to ingest the table.

For more information, please consult the CData driver documentation for the specific table.
For more information on using custom SQL, see Create Dataset with SQL.

Note

For filtering date columns, this connection type supports a set of literal functions on dates. You can use these to reduce the volume of data extracted from the database using a custom SQL query. For more information, see the pg_dateliteralfunctions.htm page in the driver documentation for this connection type.

Trino supports NoAuth and Basic (LDAP) authentication.
Trino has double PATH metadata, that is, Catalog and Schema. You can import tables only after the selection of Catalog and Schema.
```
trino/mysql/classicmodels
```
Where, mysql is the catalog and classicmodels is the Schema.
While importing data through custom SQL, insert custom SQL statements as SELECT * from catalog.schema.tableName.
