Connecting to Databases

Superset does not ship bundled with connectivity to databases. The main step in connecting Superset to a database is to install the proper database driver(s) in your environment.

note

You’ll need to install the required packages for the database you want to use as your metadata database as well as the packages needed to connect to the databases you want to access through Superset. For information about setting up Superset's metadata database, please refer to installation documentations (Docker Compose, Kubernetes)

This documentation tries to keep pointer to the different drivers for commonly used database engine.

Installing Database Drivers

Superset requires a Python DB-API database driver and a SQLAlchemy dialect to be installed for each database engine you want to connect to.

You can read more here about how to install new database drivers into your Superset configuration.

Note that many other databases are supported, the main criteria being the existence of a functional SQLAlchemy dialect and Python driver. Searching for the keyword "sqlalchemy + (database name)" should help get you to the right place.

If your database or data engine isn't on the list but a SQL interface exists, please file an issue on the Superset GitHub repo, so we can work on documenting and supporting it.

If you'd like to build a database connector for Superset integration, read the following tutorial.

Installing Drivers in Docker Images

Superset requires a Python database driver to be installed for each additional type of database you want to connect to.

In this example, we'll walk through how to install the MySQL connector library. The connector library installation process is the same for all additional libraries.

1. Determine the driver you need

Consult the list of database drivers and find the PyPI package needed to connect to your database. In this example, we're connecting to a MySQL database, so we'll need the mysqlclient connector library.

2. Install the driver in the container

We need to get the mysqlclient library installed into the Superset docker container (it doesn't matter if it's installed on the host machine). We could enter the running container with docker exec -it <container_name> bash and run pip install mysqlclient there, but that wouldn't persist permanently.

To address this, the Superset docker compose deployment uses the convention of a requirements-local.txt file. All packages listed in this file will be installed into the container from PyPI at runtime. This file will be ignored by Git for the purposes of local development.

Create the file requirements-local.txt in a subdirectory called docker that exists in the directory with your docker-compose.yml or docker-compose-non-dev.yml file.

# Run from the repo root:
touch ./docker/requirements-local.txt

Add the driver identified in step above. You can use a text editor or do it from the command line like:

echo "mysqlclient" >> ./docker/requirements-local.txt

If you are running a stock (non-customized) Superset image, you are done. Launch Superset with docker compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml up and the driver should be present.

You can check its presence by entering the running container with docker exec -it <container_name> bash and running pip freeze. The PyPI package should be present in the printed list.

If you're running a customized docker image, rebuild your local image with the new driver baked in:

docker compose build --force-rm

After the rebuild of the Docker images is complete, relaunch Superset by running docker compose up.

3. Connect to MySQL

Now that you've got a MySQL driver installed in your container, you should be able to connect to your database via the Superset web UI.

As an admin user, go to Settings -> Data: Database Connections and click the +DATABASE button. From there, follow the steps on the Using Database Connection UI page.

Consult the page for your specific database type in the Superset documentation to determine the connection string and any other parameters you need to input. For instance, on the MySQL page, we see that the connection string to a local MySQL database differs depending on whether the setup is running on Linux or Mac.

Click the “Test Connection” button, which should result in a popup message saying, "Connection looks good!".

4. Troubleshooting

If the test fails, review your docker logs for error messages. Superset uses SQLAlchemy to connect to databases; to troubleshoot the connection string for your database, you might start Python in the Superset application container or host environment and try to connect directly to the desired database and fetch data. This eliminates Superset for the purposes of isolating the problem.

Repeat this process for each type of database you want Superset to connect to.

Database-specific Instructions

Ascend.io

The recommended connector library to Ascend.io is impyla.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

ascend://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database}?auth_mechanism=PLAIN;use_ssl=true

Apache Doris

The sqlalchemy-doris library is the recommended way to connect to Apache Doris through SQLAlchemy.

You'll need the following setting values to form the connection string:

User: User Name
Password: Password
Host: Doris FE Host
Port: Doris FE port
Catalog: Catalog Name
Database: Database Name

Here's what the connection string looks like:

doris://<User>:<Password>@<Host>:<Port>/<Catalog>.<Database>

AWS Athena

PyAthenaJDBC

PyAthenaJDBC is a Python DB 2.0 compliant wrapper for the Amazon Athena JDBC driver.

The connection string for Amazon Athena is as follows:

awsathena+jdbc://{aws_access_key_id}:{aws_secret_access_key}@athena.{region_name}.amazonaws.com/{schema_name}?s3_staging_dir={s3_staging_dir}&...

Note that you'll need to escape & encode when forming the connection string like so:

s3://... -> s3%3A//...

PyAthena

You can also use the PyAthena library (no Java required) with the following connection string:

awsathena+rest://{aws_access_key_id}:{aws_secret_access_key}@athena.{region_name}.amazonaws.com/{schema_name}?s3_staging_dir={s3_staging_dir}&...

The PyAthena library also allows to assume a specific IAM role which you can define by adding following parameters in Superset's Athena database connection UI under ADVANCED --> Other --> ENGINE PARAMETERS.

{
    "connect_args": {
        "role_arn": "<role arn>"
    }
}

AWS DynamoDB

PyDynamoDB

PyDynamoDB is a Python DB API 2.0 (PEP 249) client for Amazon DynamoDB.

The connection string for Amazon DynamoDB is as follows:

dynamodb://{aws_access_key_id}:{aws_secret_access_key}@dynamodb.{region_name}.amazonaws.com:443?connector=superset

To get more documentation, please visit: PyDynamoDB WIKI.

AWS Redshift

The sqlalchemy-redshift library is the recommended way to connect to Redshift through SQLAlchemy.

This dialect requires either redshift_connector or psycopg2 to work properly.

You'll need to set the following values to form the connection string:

User Name: userName
Password: DBPassword
Database Host: AWS Endpoint
Database Name: Database Name
Port: default 5439

psycopg2

Here's what the SQLALCHEMY URI looks like:

redshift+psycopg2://<userName>:<DBPassword>@<AWS End Point>:5439/<Database Name>

redshift_connector

Here's what the SQLALCHEMY URI looks like:

redshift+redshift_connector://<userName>:<DBPassword>@<AWS End Point>:5439/<Database Name>

Using IAM-based credentials with Redshift cluster:

Amazon redshift cluster also supports generating temporary IAM-based database user credentials.

Your superset app's IAM role should have permissions to call the redshift:GetClusterCredentials operation.

You have to define the following arguments in Superset's redshift database connection UI under ADVANCED --> Others --> ENGINE PARAMETERS.

{"connect_args":{"iam":true,"database":"<database>","cluster_identifier":"<cluster_identifier>","db_user":"<db_user>"}}

and SQLALCHEMY URI should be set to redshift+redshift_connector://

Using IAM-based credentials with Redshift serverless:

Redshift serverless supports connection using IAM roles.

Your superset app's IAM role should have redshift-serverless:GetCredentials and redshift-serverless:GetWorkgroup permissions on Redshift serverless workgroup.

You have to define the following arguments in Superset's redshift database connection UI under ADVANCED --> Others --> ENGINE PARAMETERS.

{"connect_args":{"iam":true,"is_serverless":true,"serverless_acct_id":"<aws account number>","serverless_work_group":"<redshift work group>","database":"<database>","user":"IAMR:<superset iam role name>"}}

ClickHouse

To use ClickHouse with Superset, you will need to install the clickhouse-connect Python library:

If running Superset using Docker Compose, add the following to your ./docker/requirements-local.txt file:

clickhouse-connect>=0.6.8

The recommended connector library for ClickHouse is clickhouse-connect.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

clickhousedb://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>[?options…]clickhouse://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database}

Here's a concrete example of a real connection string:

clickhousedb://demo:demo@github.demo.trial.altinity.cloud/default?secure=true

If you're using Clickhouse locally on your computer, you can get away with using a http protocol URL that uses the default user without a password (and doesn't encrypt the connection):

clickhousedb://localhost/default

CockroachDB

The recommended connector library for CockroachDB is sqlalchemy-cockroachdb.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

cockroachdb://root@{hostname}:{port}/{database}?sslmode=disable

Couchbase

The Couchbase's Superset connection is designed to support two services: Couchbase Analytics and Couchbase Columnar. The recommended connector library for couchbase is couchbase-sqlalchemy.

pip install couchbase-sqlalchemy

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

couchbase://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}?truststorepath={certificate path}?ssl={true/false}

CrateDB

The recommended connector library for CrateDB is crate. You need to install the extras as well for this library. We recommend adding something like the following text to your requirements file:

crate[sqlalchemy]==0.26.0

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

crate://crate@127.0.0.1:4200

Databend

The recommended connector library for Databend is databend-sqlalchemy. Superset has been tested on databend-sqlalchemy>=0.2.3.

The recommended connection string is:

databend://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database_name}

Here's a connection string example of Superset connecting to a Databend database:

databend://user:password@localhost:8000/default?secure=false

Databricks

Databricks now offer a native DB API 2.0 driver, databricks-sql-connector, that can be used with the sqlalchemy-databricks dialect. You can install both with:

pip install "apache-superset[databricks]"

To use the Hive connector you need the following information from your cluster:

Server hostname
Port
HTTP path

These can be found under "Configuration" -> "Advanced Options" -> "JDBC/ODBC".

You also need an access token from "Settings" -> "User Settings" -> "Access Tokens".

Once you have all this information, add a database of type "Databricks Native Connector" and use the following SQLAlchemy URI:

databricks+connector://token:{access_token}@{server_hostname}:{port}/{database_name}

You also need to add the following configuration to "Other" -> "Engine Parameters", with your HTTP path:

{
    "connect_args": {"http_path": "sql/protocolv1/o/****"}
}

Older driver

Originally Superset used databricks-dbapi to connect to Databricks. You might want to try it if you're having problems with the official Databricks connector:

pip install "databricks-dbapi[sqlalchemy]"

There are two ways to connect to Databricks when using databricks-dbapi: using a Hive connector or an ODBC connector. Both ways work similarly, but only ODBC can be used to connect to SQL endpoints.

Hive

To connect to a Hive cluster add a database of type "Databricks Interactive Cluster" in Superset, and use the following SQLAlchemy URI:

databricks+pyhive://token:{access_token}@{server_hostname}:{port}/{database_name}

You also need to add the following configuration to "Other" -> "Engine Parameters", with your HTTP path:

{"connect_args": {"http_path": "sql/protocolv1/o/****"}}

ODBC

For ODBC you first need to install the ODBC drivers for your platform.

For a regular connection use this as the SQLAlchemy URI after selecting either "Databricks Interactive Cluster" or "Databricks SQL Endpoint" for the database, depending on your use case:

databricks+pyodbc://token:{access_token}@{server_hostname}:{port}/{database_name}

And for the connection arguments:

{"connect_args": {"http_path": "sql/protocolv1/o/****", "driver_path": "/path/to/odbc/driver"}}

The driver path should be:

/Library/simba/spark/lib/libsparkodbc_sbu.dylib (Mac OS)
/opt/simba/spark/lib/64/libsparkodbc_sb64.so (Linux)

For a connection to a SQL endpoint you need to use the HTTP path from the endpoint:

{"connect_args": {"http_path": "/sql/1.0/endpoints/****", "driver_path": "/path/to/odbc/driver"}}

Denodo

The recommended connector library for Denodo is denodo-sqlalchemy.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows (default port is 9996):

denodo://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database}

Dremio

The recommended connector library for Dremio is sqlalchemy_dremio.

The expected connection string for ODBC (Default port is 31010) is formatted as follows:

dremio+pyodbc://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database_name}/dremio?SSL=1

The expected connection string for Arrow Flight (Dremio 4.9.1+. Default port is 32010) is formatted as follows:

dremio+flight://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/dremio

This blog post by Dremio has some additional helpful instructions on connecting Superset to Dremio.

Apache Drill

SQLAlchemy

The recommended way to connect to Apache Drill is through SQLAlchemy. You can use the sqlalchemy-drill package.

Once that is done, you can connect to Drill in two ways, either via the REST interface or by JDBC. If you are connecting via JDBC, you must have the Drill JDBC Driver installed.

The basic connection string for Drill looks like this:

drill+sadrill://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<storage_plugin>?use_ssl=True

To connect to Drill running on a local machine running in embedded mode you can use the following connection string:

drill+sadrill://localhost:8047/dfs?use_ssl=False

JDBC

Connecting to Drill through JDBC is more complicated and we recommend following this tutorial.

The connection string looks like:

drill+jdbc://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>

ODBC

We recommend reading the Apache Drill documentation and read the GitHub README to learn how to work with Drill through ODBC.

Apache Druid

A native connector to Druid ships with Superset (behind the DRUID_IS_ACTIVE flag) but this is slowly getting deprecated in favor of the SQLAlchemy / DBAPI connector made available in the pydruid library.

The connection string looks like:

druid://<User>:<password>@<Host>:<Port-default-9088>/druid/v2/sql

Here's a breakdown of the key components of this connection string:

User: username portion of the credentials needed to connect to your database
Password: password portion of the credentials needed to connect to your database
Host: IP address (or URL) of the host machine that's running your database
Port: specific port that's exposed on your host machine where your database is running

Customizing Druid Connection

When adding a connection to Druid, you can customize the connection a few different ways in the Add Database form.

Custom Certificate

You can add certificates in the Root Certificate field when configuring the new database connection to Druid:

When using a custom certificate, pydruid will automatically use https scheme.

Disable SSL Verification

To disable SSL verification, add the following to the Extras field:

engine_params:
{"connect_args":
	{"scheme": "https", "ssl_verify_cert": false}}

Aggregations

Common aggregations or Druid metrics can be defined and used in Superset. The first and simpler use case is to use the checkbox matrix exposed in your datasource’s edit view (Sources -> Druid Datasources -> [your datasource] -> Edit -> [tab] List Druid Column).

Clicking the GroupBy and Filterable checkboxes will make the column appear in the related dropdowns while in the Explore view. Checking Count Distinct, Min, Max or Sum will result in creating new metrics that will appear in the List Druid Metric tab upon saving the datasource.

By editing these metrics, you’ll notice that their JSON element corresponds to Druid aggregation definition. You can create your own aggregations manually from the List Druid Metric tab following Druid documentation.

Post-Aggregations

Druid supports post aggregation and this works in Superset. All you have to do is create a metric, much like you would create an aggregation manually, but specify postagg as a Metric Type. You then have to provide a valid json post-aggregation definition (as specified in the Druid docs) in the JSON field.

Elasticsearch

The recommended connector library for Elasticsearch is elasticsearch-dbapi.

The connection string for Elasticsearch looks like this:

elasticsearch+http://{user}:{password}@{host}:9200/

Using HTTPS

elasticsearch+https://{user}:{password}@{host}:9200/

Elasticsearch as a default limit of 10000 rows, so you can increase this limit on your cluster or set Superset’s row limit on config

ROW_LIMIT = 10000

You can query multiple indices on SQL Lab for example

SELECT timestamp, agent FROM "logstash"

But, to use visualizations for multiple indices you need to create an alias index on your cluster

POST /_aliases
{
    "actions" : [
        { "add" : { "index" : "logstash-**", "alias" : "logstash_all" } }
    ]
}

Then register your table with the alias name logstash_all

Time zone

By default, Superset uses UTC time zone for elasticsearch query. If you need to specify a time zone, please edit your Database and enter the settings of your specified time zone in the Other > ENGINE PARAMETERS:

{
    "connect_args": {
        "time_zone": "Asia/Shanghai"
    }
}

Another issue to note about the time zone problem is that before elasticsearch7.8, if you want to convert a string into a DATETIME object, you need to use the CAST function,but this function does not support our time_zone setting. So it is recommended to upgrade to the version after elasticsearch7.8. After elasticsearch7.8, you can use the DATETIME_PARSE function to solve this problem. The DATETIME_PARSE function is to support our time_zone setting, and here you need to fill in your elasticsearch version number in the Other > VERSION setting. the superset will use the DATETIME_PARSE function for conversion.

Disable SSL Verification

To disable SSL verification, add the following to the SQLALCHEMY URI field:

elasticsearch+https://{user}:{password}@{host}:9200/?verify_certs=False

Exasol

The recommended connector library for Exasol is sqlalchemy-exasol.

The connection string for Exasol looks like this:

exa+pyodbc://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/my_schema?CONNECTIONLCALL=en_US.UTF-8&driver=EXAODBC

Firebird

The recommended connector library for Firebird is sqlalchemy-firebird. Superset has been tested on sqlalchemy-firebird>=0.7.0, <0.8.

The recommended connection string is:

firebird+fdb://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}//{path_to_db_file}

Here's a connection string example of Superset connecting to a local Firebird database:

firebird+fdb://SYSDBA:masterkey@192.168.86.38:3050//Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Versions/A/Resources/examples/empbuild/employee.fdb

Firebolt

The recommended connector library for Firebolt is firebolt-sqlalchemy.

The recommended connection string is:

firebolt://{username}:{password}@{database}?account_name={name}
or
firebolt://{username}:{password}@{database}/{engine_name}?account_name={name}

It's also possible to connect using a service account:

firebolt://{client_id}:{client_secret}@{database}?account_name={name}
or
firebolt://{client_id}:{client_secret}@{database}/{engine_name}?account_name={name}

Google BigQuery

The recommended connector library for BigQuery is sqlalchemy-bigquery.

Install BigQuery Driver

Follow the steps here about how to install new database drivers when setting up Superset locally via docker compose.

echo "sqlalchemy-bigquery" >> ./docker/requirements-local.txt

Connecting to BigQuery

When adding a new BigQuery connection in Superset, you'll need to add the GCP Service Account credentials file (as a JSON).

Create your Service Account via the Google Cloud Platform control panel, provide it access to the appropriate BigQuery datasets, and download the JSON configuration file for the service account.
In Superset, you can either upload that JSON or add the JSON blob in the following format (this should be the content of your credential JSON file):

{
        "type": "service_account",
        "project_id": "...",
        "private_key_id": "...",
        "private_key": "...",
        "client_email": "...",
        "client_id": "...",
        "auth_uri": "...",
        "token_uri": "...",
        "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "...",
        "client_x509_cert_url": "..."
    }

CleanShot 2021-10-22 at 04 18 11

Additionally, can connect via SQLAlchemy URI instead

The connection string for BigQuery looks like:

bigquery://{project_id}

Go to the Advanced tab, Add a JSON blob to the Secure Extra field in the database configuration form with the following format:

{
"credentials_info": <contents of credentials JSON file>
}

The resulting file should have this structure:

{
 "credentials_info": {
     "type": "service_account",
     "project_id": "...",
     "private_key_id": "...",
     "private_key": "...",
     "client_email": "...",
     "client_id": "...",
     "auth_uri": "...",
     "token_uri": "...",
     "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "...",
     "client_x509_cert_url": "..."
     }
 }

You should then be able to connect to your BigQuery datasets.

CleanShot 2021-10-22 at 04 47 08

To be able to upload CSV or Excel files to BigQuery in Superset, you'll need to also add the pandas_gbq library.

Currently, the Google BigQuery Python SDK is not compatible with gevent, due to some dynamic monkeypatching on python core library by gevent. So, when you deploy Superset with gunicorn server, you have to use worker type except gevent.

Google Sheets

Google Sheets has a very limited SQL API. The recommended connector library for Google Sheets is shillelagh.

There are a few steps involved in connecting Superset to Google Sheets. This tutorial has the most up to date instructions on setting up this connection.

Hana

The recommended connector library is sqlalchemy-hana.

The connection string is formatted as follows:

hana://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}

Apache Hive

The IBM_DB_SA library provides a Python / SQLAlchemy interface to IBM Data Servers.

Here's the recommended connection string:

db2+ibm_db://{username}:{passport}@{hostname}:{port}/{database}

There are two DB2 dialect versions implemented in SQLAlchemy. If you are connecting to a DB2 version without LIMIT [n] syntax, the recommended connection string to be able to use the SQL Lab is:

ibm_db_sa://{username}:{passport}@{hostname}:{port}/{database}

Apache Impala

The recommended connector library to Apache Impala is impyla.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

impala://{hostname}:{port}/{database}

Kusto

The connection string for Kusto (sql dialect) looks like this:

kustosql+https://{cluster_url}/{database}?azure_ad_client_id={azure_ad_client_id}&azure_ad_client_secret={azure_ad_client_secret}&azure_ad_tenant_id={azure_ad_tenant_id}&msi=False

The connection string for Kusto (kql dialect) looks like this:

kustokql+https://{cluster_url}/{database}?azure_ad_client_id={azure_ad_client_id}&azure_ad_client_secret={azure_ad_client_secret}&azure_ad_tenant_id={azure_ad_tenant_id}&msi=False

Make sure the user has privileges to access and use all required databases/tables/views.

Apache Kylin

The recommended connector library for Apache Kylin is kylinpy.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

kylin://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<port>/<project>?<param1>=<value1>&<param2>=<value2>

MySQL

The recommended connector library for MySQL is mysqlclient.

Here's the connection string:

mysql://{username}:{password}@{host}/{database}

Host:

For Localhost: localhost or 127.0.0.1
Docker running on Linux: 172.18.0.1
For On Prem: IP address or Host name
For Docker running in OSX: docker.for.mac.host.internal Port: 3306 by default

One problem with mysqlclient is that it will fail to connect to newer MySQL databases using caching_sha2_password for authentication, since the plugin is not included in the client. In this case, you should use mysql-connector-python instead:

mysql+mysqlconnector://{username}:{password}@{host}/{database}

IBM Netezza Performance Server

The nzalchemy library provides a Python / SQLAlchemy interface to IBM Netezza Performance Server (aka Netezza).

Here's the recommended connection string:

netezza+nzpy://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database}

The expected connection string using username and password is formatted as follows:

pinot://<username>:<password>@<pinot-broker-host>:<pinot-broker-port>/query/sql?controller=http://<pinot-controller-host>:<pinot-controller-port>/verify_ssl=true``

If you want to use explore view or joins, window functions, etc. then enable multi-stage query engine. Add below argument while creating database connection in Advanced -> Other -> ENGINE PARAMETERS

{"connect_args":{"use_multistage_engine":"true"}}

Postgres

Note that, if you're using docker compose, the Postgres connector library psycopg2 comes out of the box with Superset.

Postgres sample connection parameters:

User Name: UserName
Password: DBPassword
Database Host:
- For Localhost: localhost or 127.0.0.1
- For On Prem: IP address or Host name
- For AWS Endpoint
Database Name: Database Name
Port: default 5432

The connection string looks like:

postgresql://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database}

You can require SSL by adding ?sslmode=require at the end:

postgresql://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database}?sslmode=require

You can read about the other SSL modes that Postgres supports in Table 31-1 from this documentation.

More information about PostgreSQL connection options can be found in the SQLAlchemy docs and the PostgreSQL docs.

Presto

The pyhive library is the recommended way to connect to Presto through SQLAlchemy.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

presto://{hostname}:{port}/{database}

You can pass in a username and password as well:

presto://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{database}

Here is an example connection string with values:

presto://datascientist:securepassword@presto.example.com:8080/hive

By default Superset assumes the most recent version of Presto is being used when querying the datasource. If you’re using an older version of Presto, you can configure it in the extra parameter:

{
    "version": "0.123"
}

SSL Secure extra add json config to extra connection information.

   {
     "connect_args":
    {"protocol": "https",
     "requests_kwargs":{"verify":false}
  }
}

RisingWave

The recommended connector library for RisingWave is sqlalchemy-risingwave.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

The connection string for Rockset is:

rockset://{api key}:@{api server}

Get your API key from the Rockset console. Find your API server from the API reference. Omit the https:// portion of the URL.

To target to a specific virtual instance, use this URI format:

rockset://{api key}:@{api server}/{VI ID}

For more complete instructions, we recommend the Rockset documentation.

Snowflake

Install Snowflake Driver

Follow the steps here about how to install new database drivers when setting up Superset locally via docker compose.

echo "snowflake-sqlalchemy" >> ./docker/requirements-local.txt

The recommended connector library for Snowflake is snowflake-sqlalchemy.

The connection string for Snowflake looks like this:

snowflake://{user}:{password}@{account}.{region}/{database}?role={role}&warehouse={warehouse}

The schema is not necessary in the connection string, as it is defined per table/query. The role and warehouse can be omitted if defaults are defined for the user, i.e.

snowflake://{user}:{password}@{account}.{region}/{database}

Make sure the user has privileges to access and use all required databases/schemas/tables/views/warehouses, as the Snowflake SQLAlchemy engine does not test for user/role rights during engine creation by default. However, when pressing the “Test Connection” button in the Create or Edit Database dialog, user/role credentials are validated by passing “validate_default_parameters”: True to the connect() method during engine creation. If the user/role is not authorized to access the database, an error is recorded in the Superset logs.

And if you want connect Snowflake with Key Pair Authentication. Please make sure you have the key pair and the public key is registered in Snowflake. To connect Snowflake with Key Pair Authentication, you need to add the following parameters to "SECURE EXTRA" field.

Please note that you need to merge multi-line private key content to one line and insert \n between each line

{
     "auth_method": "keypair",
     "auth_params": {
         "privatekey_body": "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n...\n-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----",
         "privatekey_pass":"Your Private Key Password"
     }
 }

If your private key is stored on server, you can replace "privatekey_body" with “privatekey_path” in parameter.

{
    "auth_method": "keypair",
    "auth_params": {
        "privatekey_path":"Your Private Key Path",
        "privatekey_pass":"Your Private Key Password"
    }
}

Apache Solr

The sqlalchemy-solr library provides a Python / SQLAlchemy interface to Apache Solr.

The connection string for Solr looks like this:

solr://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{server_path}/{collection}[/?use_ssl=true|false]

Apache Spark SQL

The recommended connector library for Apache Spark SQL pyhive.

The expected connection string is formatted as follows:

hive://hive@{hostname}:{port}/{database}

SQL Server

The recommended connector library for SQL Server is pymssql.

The connection string for SQL Server looks like this:

mssql+pymssql://<Username>:<Password>@<Host>:<Port-default:1433>/<Database Name>/?Encrypt=yes

It is also possible to connect using pyodbc with the parameter odbc_connect

The connection string for SQL Server looks like this:

mssql+pyodbc:///?odbc_connect=Driver%3D%7BODBC+Driver+17+for+SQL+Server%7D%3BServer%3Dtcp%3A%3Cmy_server%3E%2C1433%3BDatabase%3Dmy_database%3BUid%3Dmy_user_name%3BPwd%3Dmy_password%3BEncrypt%3Dyes%3BConnection+Timeout%3D30

StarRocks

The sqlalchemy-starrocks library is the recommended way to connect to StarRocks through SQLAlchemy.

You'll need to the following setting values to form the connection string:

User: User Name
Password: DBPassword
Host: StarRocks FE Host
Catalog: Catalog Name
Database: Database Name
Port: StarRocks FE port

Here's what the connection string looks like:

starrocks://<User>:<Password>@<Host>:<Port>/<Catalog>.<Database>

note

StarRocks maintains their Superset docuementation here.

Teradata

The recommended connector library is teradatasqlalchemy.

The connection string for Teradata looks like this:

teradatasql://{user}:{password}@{host}

ODBC Driver

There's also an older connector named sqlalchemy-teradata that requires the installation of ODBC drivers. The Teradata ODBC Drivers are available here: https://downloads.teradata.com/download/connectivity/odbc-driver/linux

Here are the required environment variables:

export ODBCINI=/.../teradata/client/ODBC_64/odbc.ini
export ODBCINST=/.../teradata/client/ODBC_64/odbcinst.ini

We recommend using the first library because of the lack of requirement around ODBC drivers and because it's more regularly updated.

TimescaleDB

TimescaleDB is the open-source relational database for time-series and analytics to build powerful data-intensive applications. TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension, and you can use the standard PostgreSQL connector library, psycopg2, to connect to the database.

If you're using docker compose, psycopg2 comes out of the box with Superset.

TimescaleDB sample connection parameters:

User Name: User
Password: Password
Database Host:
- For Localhost: localhost or 127.0.0.1
- For On Prem: IP address or Host name
- For Timescale Cloud service: Host name
- For Managed Service for TimescaleDB service: Host name
Database Name: Database Name
Port: default 5432 or Port number of the service

The connection string looks like:

postgresql://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database name}

You can require SSL by adding ?sslmode=require at the end (e.g. in case you use Timescale Cloud):

postgresql://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database name}?sslmode=require

Authentications

1. Basic Authentication

You can provide username/password in the connection string or in the Secure Extra field at Advanced / Security

In Connection String

trino://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/{catalog}

In Secure Extra field

{
    "auth_method": "basic",
    "auth_params": {
        "username": "<username>",
        "password": "<password>"
    }
}

NOTE: if both are provided, Secure Extra always takes higher priority.

2. Kerberos Authentication

In Secure Extra field, config as following example:

{
    "auth_method": "kerberos",
    "auth_params": {
        "service_name": "superset",
        "config": "/path/to/krb5.config",
        ...
    }
}

All fields in auth_params are passed directly to the KerberosAuthentication class.

NOTE: Kerberos authentication requires installing the trino-python-client locally with either the all or kerberos optional features, i.e., installing trino[all] or trino[kerberos] respectively.

3. Certificate Authentication

In Secure Extra field, config as following example:

{
    "auth_method": "certificate",
    "auth_params": {
        "cert": "/path/to/cert.pem",
        "key": "/path/to/key.pem"
    }
}

All fields in auth_params are passed directly to the CertificateAuthentication class.

4. JWT Authentication

Config auth_method and provide token in Secure Extra field

{
    "auth_method": "jwt",
    "auth_params": {
        "token": "<your-jwt-token>"
    }
}

5. Custom Authentication

To use custom authentication, first you need to add it into ALLOWED_EXTRA_AUTHENTICATIONS allow list in Superset config file:

from your.module import AuthClass
from another.extra import auth_method

ALLOWED_EXTRA_AUTHENTICATIONS: Dict[str, Dict[str, Callable[..., Any]]] = {
    "trino": {
        "custom_auth": AuthClass,
        "another_auth_method": auth_method,
    },
}

Then in Secure Extra field:

{
    "auth_method": "custom_auth",
    "auth_params": {
        ...
    }
}

You can also use custom authentication by providing reference to your trino.auth.Authentication class or factory function (which returns an Authentication instance) to auth_method.

All fields in auth_params are passed directly to your class/function.

Reference:

Trino-Superset-Podcast

The connection string looks like:

postgresql://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database}

Connecting through the UI

Here is the documentation on how to leverage the new DB Connection UI. This will provide admins the ability to enhance the UX for users who want to connect to new databases.

db-conn-docs

There are now 3 steps when connecting to a database in the new UI:

Step 1: First the admin must inform superset what engine they want to connect to. This page is powered by the /available endpoint which pulls on the engines currently installed in your environment, so that only supported databases are shown.

Step 2: Next, the admin is prompted to enter database specific parameters. Depending on whether there is a dynamic form available for that specific engine, the admin will either see the new custom form or the legacy SQLAlchemy form. We currently have built dynamic forms for (Redshift, MySQL, Postgres, and BigQuery). The new form prompts the user for the parameters needed to connect (for example, username, password, host, port, etc.) and provides immediate feedback on errors.

Step 3: Finally, once the admin has connected to their DB using the dynamic form they have the opportunity to update any optional advanced settings.

We hope this feature will help eliminate a huge bottleneck for users to get into the application and start crafting datasets.

How to setup up preferred database options and images

We added a new configuration option where the admin can define their preferred databases, in order:

# A list of preferred databases, in order. These databases will be
# displayed prominently in the "Add Database" dialog. You should
# use the "engine_name" attribute of the corresponding DB engine spec
# in `superset/db_engine_specs/`.
PREFERRED_DATABASES: list[str] = [
    "PostgreSQL",
    "Presto",
    "MySQL",
    "SQLite",
]

For copyright reasons the logos for each database are not distributed with Superset.

Setting images

To set the images of your preferred database, admins must create a mapping in the superset_text.yml file with engine and location of the image. The image can be host locally inside your static/file directory or online (e.g. S3)

DB_IMAGES:
  postgresql: "path/to/image/postgres.jpg"
  bigquery: "path/to/s3bucket/bigquery.jpg"
  snowflake: "path/to/image/snowflake.jpg"

How to add new database engines to available endpoint

Currently the new modal supports the following databases:

Postgres
Redshift
MySQL
BigQuery

When the user selects a database not in this list they will see the old dialog asking for the SQLAlchemy URI. New databases can be added gradually to the new flow. In order to support the rich configuration a DB engine spec needs to have the following attributes:

parameters_schema: a Marshmallow schema defining the parameters needed to configure the database. For Postgres this includes username, password, host, port, etc. (see).
default_driver: the name of the recommended driver for the DB engine spec. Many SQLAlchemy dialects support multiple drivers, but usually one is the official recommendation. For Postgres we use "psycopg2".
sqlalchemy_uri_placeholder: a string that helps the user in case they want to type the URI directly.
encryption_parameters: parameters used to build the URI when the user opts for an encrypted connection. For Postgres this is {"sslmode": "require"}.

In addition, the DB engine spec must implement these class methods:

build_sqlalchemy_uri(cls, parameters, encrypted_extra): this method receives the distinct parameters and builds the URI from them.
get_parameters_from_uri(cls, uri, encrypted_extra): this method does the opposite, extracting the parameters from a given URI.
validate_parameters(cls, parameters): this method is used for onBlur validation of the form. It should return a list of SupersetError indicating which parameters are missing, and which parameters are definitely incorrect (example).

For databases like MySQL and Postgres that use the standard format of engine+driver://user:password@host:port/dbname all you need to do is add the BasicParametersMixin to the DB engine spec, and then define the parameters 2-4 (parameters_schema is already present in the mixin).

For other databases you need to implement these methods yourself. The BigQuery DB engine spec is a good example of how to do that.

Extra Database Settings

Deeper SQLAlchemy Integration

It is possible to tweak the database connection information using the parameters exposed by SQLAlchemy. In the Database edit view, you can edit the Extra field as a JSON blob.

This JSON string contains extra configuration elements. The engine_params object gets unpacked into the sqlalchemy.create_engine call, while the metadata_params get unpacked into the sqlalchemy.MetaData call. Refer to the SQLAlchemy docs for more information.

Schemas

Databases like Postgres and Redshift use the schema as the logical entity on top of the database. For Superset to connect to a specific schema, you can set the schema parameter in the Edit Tables form (Sources > Tables > Edit record).

External Password Store for SQLAlchemy Connections

Superset can be configured to use an external store for database passwords. This is useful if you a running a custom secret distribution framework and do not wish to store secrets in Superset’s meta database.

Example: Write a function that takes a single argument of type sqla.engine.url and returns the password for the given connection string. Then set SQLALCHEMY_CUSTOM_PASSWORD_STORE in your config file to point to that function.

def example_lookup_password(url):
    secret = <<get password from external framework>>
    return 'secret'

SQLALCHEMY_CUSTOM_PASSWORD_STORE = example_lookup_password

A common pattern is to use environment variables to make secrets available. SQLALCHEMY_CUSTOM_PASSWORD_STORE can also be used for that purpose.

def example_password_as_env_var(url):
    # assuming the uri looks like
    # mysql://localhost?superset_user:{SUPERSET_PASSWORD}
    return url.password.format(**os.environ)

SQLALCHEMY_CUSTOM_PASSWORD_STORE = example_password_as_env_var

SSL Access to Databases

You can use the Extra field in the Edit Databases form to configure SSL:

{
    "metadata_params": {},
    "engine_params": {
          "connect_args":{
              "sslmode":"require",
              "sslrootcert": "/path/to/my/pem"
        }
     }
}

Misc.

Querying across databases

Superset offers an experimental feature for querying across different databases. This is done via a special database called "Superset meta database" that uses the "superset://" SQLAlchemy URI. When using the database it's possible to query any table in any of the configured databases using the following syntax:

SELECT * FROM "database name.[[catalog.].schema].table name";

For example:

SELECT * FROM "examples.birth_names";

Spaces are allowed, but periods in the names must be replaced by %2E. Eg:

SELECT * FROM "Superset meta database.examples%2Ebirth_names";

The query above returns the same rows as SELECT * FROM "examples.birth_names", and also shows that the meta database can query tables from any table — even itself!

Considerations

Before enabling this feature, there are a few considerations that you should have in mind. First, the meta database enforces permissions on the queried tables, so users should only have access via the database to tables that they originally have access to. Nevertheless, the meta database is a new surface for potential attacks, and bugs could allow users to see data they should not.

Second, there are performance considerations. The meta database will push any filtering, sorting, and limiting to the underlying databases, but any aggregations and joins will happen in memory in the process running the query. Because of this, it's recommended to run the database in async mode, so queries are executed in Celery workers, instead of the web workers. Additionally, it's possible to specify a hard limit on how many rows are returned from the underlying databases.

Enabling the meta database

To enable the Superset meta database, first you need to set the ENABLE_SUPERSET_META_DB feature flag to true. Then, add a new database of type "Superset meta database" with the SQLAlchemy URI "superset://".

If you enable DML in the meta database users will be able to run DML queries on underlying databases as long as DML is also enabled in them. This allows users to run queries that move data across databases.

Second, you might want to change the value of SUPERSET_META_DB_LIMIT. The default value is 1000, and defines how many are read from each database before any aggregations and joins are executed. You can also set this value None if you only have small tables.

Additionally, you might want to restrict the databases to with the meta database has access to. This can be done in the database configuration, under "Advanced" -> "Other" -> "ENGINE PARAMETERS" and adding:

{"allowed_dbs":["Google Sheets","examples"]}
