Connect to a Pivotal HAWQ Database

You can connect your TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio installation to a Pivotal HAWQ database.

Perform this task on the computer where TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio server is installed. Supported HAWQ versions can be found in System Requirements.
Before you begin
  • Check System Requirements to ensure you are using a supported version of Pivotal HAWQ.
  • You must have write access to the computer where TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio server is installed.
  • If another TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio user has greater privileges for a shared account database than you, the owner, that user must provide credentials to see the parts of the database denied to you.
    Procedure
  1. Open the Add Data Source dialog.

  2. For Data Source Name, provide a user-facing name.
    You can provide any useful text.
  3. For Database Name, set the actual database name.

    PostgreSQL is the default because many Greenplum users have a database with that name. If you are adding a database with a different name, provide the name here.

  4. Provide the Database Account and Database Password.

    These values are your database credentials.

  5. Select Set database credentials as a shared account if you intend to allow all users to access the data source without using their own credentials.

    Users access the database with your credentials as the data source owner. If you do not select this checkbox, each user must provide credentials for that data source to access it. You can check the box later if you change your mind.

  6. Select Use SSL if you are using SSL-enabled PostgreSQL and Greenplum

    If you choose this option, communications between TIBCO Data Science - Team Studio and the database are secured using SSL.

  7. Provide an entry for the Description.
