    Note

    • Password/API Token: You can find the Auth Token or Password from QDS (Control Panel > My Accounts > click Show under the API Token column and copy it). To know more, see Managing Your Accounts.
    • EndPoint: Mention the EndPoint based on the region where you have the Qubole account. For more information, see Supported Qubole Endpoints on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The EndPoint doesn’t require suffixes such as /api/xxx. For example, the EndPoint can be https://in.qubole.com.
    • How to add additional parameters? You should add the additional JDBC parameter with the EndPoint field value and use a semicolon (;) to separate them (Example: https://api.qubole.com;qds_bypass=true;LogLevel=6;LogPath=/tmp).
