Greenplum connection

To access your data in Greenplum, create a connection asset for it.

Greenplum is a massively parallel processing (MPP) database server that supports next generation data warehousing and large-scale analytics processing.

Supported versions

Greenplum 3.2+

Create a connection to Greenplum

To create the connection asset, you need the following connection details:

  • Username and password
  • SSL certificate (if required by the database server)

For Private connectivity, to connect to a database that is not externalized to the internet (for example, behind a firewall), you must set up a secure connection.

Choose the method for creating a connection based on where you are in the platform

In a project
Click Assets > New asset > Connect to a data source. See Adding a connection to a project.
In a catalog
Click Add to catalog > Connection. See Adding a connection asset to a catalog.
In a deployment space
Click Import assets > Data access > Connection. See Adding data assets to a deployment space.
In the Platform assets catalog
Click New connection. See Adding platform connections.

Next step: Add data assets from the connection
