Overview
The Netezza JDBC driver can be used in the Collibra Catalog in the section ‘Collibra provided drivers’ to register Netezza sources. Leveraging this driver, Collibra Catalog will be able to register database information and extract the structure of the source into its schemas, tables and columns.
Collibra JDBC drivers can retrieve the following technical metadata from the source:
- Schemas
- Tables
- Views
- Columns
- Primary keys
- Foreign keys
Warning:
This driver is not downloadable from a public website. You will need to retrieve the JDBC Driver available as part of your Netezza server installation. The JDBC driver can be copied from your Netezza database server, the JAR file is typically located in <netezza_installation_directory>/kit/sbin/nzjdbc3.jar (For example, /nz/kit/sbin/nzjdbc3.jar).
