Databend

Connect a Databend database to Lakehousecat using a connection URI. Databend is a cloud-native data warehouse built on Apache OpenDAL with a focus on large-scale analytics.

Connection Fields

Field	Required	Description
Connection URI	Yes	Full connection string including credentials, host, port, and database name. Example: databend://user:password@host:8000/mydb
Use SSH	No	Enable if the database is behind an SSH bastion host. When enabled, SSH settings fields appear. See SSH Tunneling.

Prerequisites

• Admin or Builder role in Lakehousecat
• A Databend user with SELECT access to the databases and tables you want to expose
• Network connectivity from the Lakehousecat backend to the Databend HTTP handler (direct or via SSH)
• Databend HTTP handler default port: 8000

Notes

• Databend uses its native HTTP dialect (databend://) for DLT loading — MySQL-wire (port 3307) is used only for schema discovery.
• The connection URI scheme databend:// is handled by the databend-sqlalchemy dialect.
• Incremental Load is supported with manual merge key settings; use a timestamp column (e.g., updated_at) as the incremental column.
• Databend is optimized for cloud object-storage backends (S3, Azure Blob, GCS).

Next Steps
