Requirements

Before you connect to AtScale manually, you must have the following:

An AtScale account.

A cluster or SQL warehouse in your Databricks workspace.
- Compute configuration reference.
- Create a SQL warehouse.
The connection details for your cluster or SQL warehouse, specifically the Server Hostname, Port, and HTTP Path values.
- Get connection details for a Databricks compute resource.
A Databricks personal access token. To create a personal access token, follow the steps in Databricks personal access tokens for workspace users.

Note

As a security best practice when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use OAuth tokens.

If you use personal access token authentication, Databricks recommends using personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.
