Catalog and Schema Support
The Simba Athena ODBC Driver supports both catalogs and schemas to make it easy for the connector to work with various ODBC applications.
Amazon Athena provides catalogs that enable you to access the data source that is being queried. These catalogs contain databases, which correspond to ODBC schemas, and each database contains data that has been organized into tables.
By default, if your query statement does not specify a catalog, the connector queries the data under the catalog named AwsDataCatalog. You can use the Catalog connection property to specify a different default catalog for your queries. For more information, see Catalog.
