Connection to Databricks from Alteryx

Good morning, Hi everyone!

 

This is my 1st post so please understand if I wrote something wrong.

 

I would like some advice! I am following the tutorial that can be found on:
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/How-To-Configure-a-Databricks-Conne...

 

and I have a problem, because in the requirements there is to install Simba Spark ODBC Driver(which I can't find on the website).

Unfortunately when I even go to the Apache Spark ODBC tab and want to press the download button, I get redirected to the Alteryx gallery page.

 

Can someone please help me?


Mainly I would like to understand what this driver is required for, whether Apache Spark ODBC will be suitable for making the Alteryx - Databricks connection work.

Greetings and have a nice day!


Pawel

Hi! 

 

Thank you for your help, I have a license for Alteryx Designer and I have Alteryx for user installed  I would also like to ask about this tutorial

Is it still relevant? After downloading Simba Spark and selecting Data Source Databricks, I already have the driver imposed which is Databricks ODBC

Even when I configure the connection I still have the Databricks ODBC driver. So should I install anything else to be able to connect?
