Example 8: Via Vertica

This topic introduces how to set up a JDBC Connection via Vertica.

Assume that:

• You have already installed the Vertica JDBC driver, and have appended the archive files of the driver to the ADDCLASSPATH variable in the file setenv.bat in <designer_install_root>\bin.
• The Vertica database server is with the following information:

  Database Name: vmartdb
  Driver: com.vertica.jdbc.Driver
  URL: jdbc:vertica://192.168.0.1:5433/vmartdb
  User: dbadmin
  Password: test1234

• A catalog has been created with a default data source.

For details about how to install Vertica, refer to https://my.vertica.com/docs/6.1.x/HTML/index.htm#1318.htm.

Take the following steps to set up a connection which connects Logi JReport Designer to a database via Vertica:

1. Start Logi JReport Designer and open the catalog.
2. In the Catalog Manager, right-click the node of the default data source and select New JDBC Connection from the shortcut menu. Select JDBC in the Select Connection Type dialog.
3. In the Get JDBC Connection Information dialog, enter the JDBC driver class name com.vertica.jdbc.Driver in the Driver text field.
4. In the URL text field, specify the URL in the format jdbc:vertica://<hostname>:<port>/<SID>. In this example, enter jdbc:vertica://192.168.0.1:5433/vmartdb.
5. Input the user name dbadmin and password test1234 respectively.

   

6. Select OK to set up the connection.
