Vertica

Connect a Vertica analytics database to Lakehousecat using a connection URI.

Connection Fields

Field	Required	Description
Connection URI	Yes	Full connection string. Example: vertica://user:password@host:5433/database
Use SSH	No	Enable if the database is behind an SSH bastion host. See SSH Tunneling.

Prerequisites

• Admin or Builder role in Lakehousecat
• A Vertica user with SELECT access to the target schemas and tables
• Default port: 5433

Notes

• Use a read-only database user to follow the principle of least privilege.
• Incremental Load is supported; use a timestamp column (e.g., updated_at) as the merge key.
• For large Vertica databases, configure schema and table filters in the Filters tab after creation.

Next Steps

After creating the datasource, go to the Operations tab to trigger semantic extraction.
