Connect to Amazon Athena with JDBC

Amazon Athena offers two JDBC drivers, versions 2.x and 3.x. The Athena JDBC 3.x driver is the new generation driver offering better performance and compatibility. The JDBC 3.x driver supports reading query results directly from Amazon S3, which improves the performance of applications that consume large query results. The new driver also has fewer third-party dependencies, which makes integration with BI tools and custom applications easier. In most cases, you can use the new driver with no or minimal changes to existing configuration.

To download the JDBC 3.x driver, see Athena JDBC 3.x driver.
To download the JDBC 2.x driver, see Athena JDBC 2.x driver.
