Starburst Connection

Starburst is a data platform built on Trino, a massively parallel processing (MPP) SQL query engine. Starburst makes Trino easier to use and manage by providing enterprise-grade support, managed cloud services (like Starburst Galaxy), and other enhancements.

Leverage Starburst within Data Intelligence to establish connections to Starburst clusters, enabling access to various catalogs, schemas, and tables for querying data using natural language across multiple data sources.
