Referencing the JDBC Connector Libraries

Before you use the Simba Google BigQuery JDBC Connector, the JDBC application or Java code that you are using to connect to your data must be able to access the connector JAR files. In the application or code, specify all the JAR files that you extracted from the ZIP archive.

Using the Connector in a JDBC Application

Most JDBC applications provide a set of configuration options for adding a list of connector library files. Use the provided options to include all the JAR files from the ZIP archive as part of the connector configuration in the application. For more information, see the documentation for your JDBC application.

Using the Connector in Java Code

You must include all the connector library files in the class path. This is the path that the Java Runtime Environment searches for classes and other resource files. For more information, see "Setting the Class Path" in the appropriate Java SE Documentation.
