Configuring access to Greenplum databases

You can configure access to a Greenplum database by configuring an ODBC data source definition (DSN) for Greenplum and by adding the directory location of the Greenplum parallel file distribution program (gpfdist) to the system path. The Greenplum Connector stage uses ODBC to connect and to execute statements and uses the gpfdist program to exchange data with the Greenplum database.
