Catalog and Schema Support

The Simba Drill JDBC Connector supports both catalogs and schemas to make it easy for the connector to work with various JDBC applications. The Simba Drill JDBC Connector follows convention, adding a catalog named DRILL under which all of the schemas and databases are organized. The connector also maps the JDBC schema to the DRILL catalog. The connector provides access to all of the schemas/databases that are listed under this catalog, ensuring compatibility with standard BI tools.

By default, the connector indicates to the application that it has catalog support through DatabaseMetadata. You can disable this behavior by setting the CatalogSupport connection property to LEGACY.
