connect superset with cube OLAP

[salah34145]

I have successfully installed Superset, and everything is running smoothly. However, I have OLAP cubes, and I was wondering if there is a way to connect the cubes with Superset for analysis and visualization.

Superset supports direct connections to several OLAP databases, including Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Trino, Presto, Druid, ClickHouse, Apache Kylin, Pinot, Teradata, StarRocks, and Doris ^[1][2]. To connect Superset with an OLAP database, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install the Required Database Driver: Ensure you have the necessary Python DB-API database driver and SQLAlchemy dialect for your OLAP database. For example, if connecting to Apache Druid, install the pydruid package using pip install pydruid.

2. Install the Driver in Docker (if using Docker): If you're using Docker, add the required driver to a requirements-local.txt file in the docker subdirectory where your docker-compose.yml is located. Then, launch Superset with docker compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml up.

3. Connect to the Database via Superset UI: As an admin user, go to Settings -> Data: Database Connections in the Superset web UI and click the +DATABASE button. Enter the connection parameters like username, password, host, port, and database name. Use the connection string format specific to your database, and click “Test Connection” to verify ^[3].

These steps should help you set up a connection between Superset and your OLAP cubes for analysis and visualization.
