Connect to Mode
This article describes how to use Mode with a Databricks cluster or a Databricks SQL warehouse (formerly Databricks SQL endpoint).
Requirements
Before you connect to Mode manually, you need the following:
A cluster or SQL warehouse in your Databricks workspace.
The connection details for your cluster or SQL warehouse, specifically the Server Hostname, Port, and HTTP Path values.
A Databricks personal access token. To create a personal access token, follow the steps in Databricks personal access tokens for workspace users.
Note
As a security best practice, when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.
