Connecting with DBeaver

Creating a connection to Altinity.Cloud from DBeaver.

Connecting to Altinity.Cloud from DBeaver is a quick, secure process thanks to the available JDBC driver plugin.

Required Settings

The following settings are required for the driver connection:

  • hostname: The DNS name of the Altinity.Cloud cluster. This is typically based on the name of your cluster, environment, and organization. For example, if the organization name is CameraCo and the environment is prod with the cluster sales, then the URL may be https://sales.prod.cameraco.altinity.cloud. Check the cluster’s Access Point to verify the DNS name of the cluster.
  • port: The port to connect to. For Altinity.Cloud, it will be HTTPS on port 8443.
  • Username: The ClickHouse user to authenticate to the ClickHouse server.
  • Password: The ClickHouse user password used to authenticate to the ClickHouse server.
