Clients

A client is used to send SQL queries to Starburst Enterprise platform (SEP) and therefore any connected data sources, and receive results.

All client drivers and client applications communicate with the SEP coordinator using the client protocol. Configure support for the spooling protocol on the cluster to improve throughput for client interactions with higher data transfer demands.

The following basic clients are available as part of every SEP release:

• Client protocol
• Command line interface
• JDBC driver
• Query editor
• Python
• Thoughtspot

A good start to explore is the Query editor, which is built-in to the Starburst Enterprise web UI.

SEP also includes support and documentation for the Starburst ODBC driver

Many more clients are supported, as described in the detail pages of the Clients section.
