Completing the JDCB connection details

Procedure

Fill in the connection details as follows:
- Fill in the JDBC URL used to access the database server.
- In the Driver Class field, specify the main class of the driver allowing to communicate with the database.
- Fill in your database user authentication data in User Id and Password fields.
- In the Mapping file list, select the mapping that allows the database Type to match the Java type of data on the schema according to the type of database you are connecting to.
Information noteNote: The mapping files are XML files that you can manage via Window > Preferences > Talend > Specific Settings > Metadata of Talend Type. For more information, see Accessing mapping files and defining type mappings.
Click Test connection to check your connection.
Click Finish to close the connection setup wizard.
The newly created JDBC connection is now available in the Repository tree view and it displays several folders including Queries (for the SQL queries you save) and Table schemas that will gather all schemas linked to this DB connection upon schema retrieval.
