Before you begin, gather this connection information:
Name of the server that hosts the database you want to connect to and port number
The name of the database that you want to connect to
HTTP path to the data source
Personal Access Token
Launch Syntho and select Connect to a database, or under Create workspace, select Databricks. For a complete list of data connections, select More under From database. Then do the following:
Enter the server hostname.
Enter the catalog name.
Enter the database name.
Enter the HTTP Path to the data source.
Select Create Workspace.
If Syntho can't make the connection, verify that your credentials are correct. If you still can't connect, your computer is having trouble locating the server. Contact your network administrator or database administrator.
