> By default the service account provided for the connector will be used for any query operations. If the service account has write privileges, then Insert / Update / Delete queries can be executed.

#### **Pre-requisites**

To use the connector, the following need to be available:

* Connection details as specified in the following section should be available.
* A service account with read privileges.
* Add Dremio client drivers into the OvalEdge Jar path to communicate with the Dremio database. &#x20;

Check the [Configuration section](https://support.ovaledge.com/configuration) for further details on how to add the drivers to the jar path.

#### **Connection Details**

The following connection settings should be added for connecting to a Dremio database:

* **Database Type:** Dremio
* **License Type:** Standard, Auto Lineage
* **Connection Name:** Select a Connection name for the Dremio database. The name that you specify is a reference name to easily identify your Dremio database connection in OvalEdge. Example: Dremio Connection1
* **Server:** Database instance URL (on-premises/cloud-based)\
  Example: 34.54.56.78
* **Port Number:** 31010
* **Driver Name:** JDBC driver name for Dremio. It will be auto-populated.\
  Example: com.dremio.jdbc.Driver
* **Username:** User account login credential (only for Dremio Authentication
* **Password:** Password (only for Dremio Authentication)
* **Connection String:** Dremio  connection string. Set the Connection string toggle button to automatic, to get the details automatically from the credentials provided. Alternatively, you can manually enter the string.\
