Connect to a BYOC Warehouse

A bring your own cloud (BYOC) warehouse runs in your cloud account and virtual private cloud (VPC). You control its routing, security groups, network access control lists (network ACLs), load balancers, and public exposure. Use this page when a client in your cloud network needs to connect to the warehouse.

Unlike the software as a service (SaaS) Connection page, the BYOC page does not provide Public Endpoint or Private Endpoint tabs. It opens directly at Connect to your warehouse. Before connecting, make sure the client network can reach the displayed host and ports.

Before you begin​

  • Confirm that the BYOC warehouse is running.
  • Confirm that the client can reach the warehouse host and the ports required by the selected connection method through your cloud network.
  • Have the warehouse SQL username and password required by your client ready.
  • If you use a firewall, security group, network ACL, or load balancer, allow the client traffic to the required host and ports.

Get the connection details​

  1. Log in to the VeloDB Cloud console.

  2. In the upper-left corner, select the BYOC warehouse that you want to use.

  3. In the left navigation pane, click Connection.

  4. From the connection method dropdown list, choose one of the following methods:

    MethodUse it to
    MySQL CLIConnect with the MySQL command-line interface or a MySQL-compatible client.
    JDBCConnect a Java application or a JDBC-compatible tool.
    Stream LoadLoad data over HTTP or HTTPS.
    MCPConnect a supported Model Context Protocol (MCP) client or agent.
    Arrow Flight SQLTransfer query results with the Arrow Flight SQL protocol.

  5. Copy the connection details or generated command, and then configure your client.

For method-specific fields, generated commands, and examples, see Connection Methods.

Verify the connection​

Run a test query or request from the configured client. If the connection fails, verify that the warehouse is running, the host and port are reachable, the network controls allow the connection, and the credentials are current.
