Trino Support

Check back frequently as we are making continual updates to our Trino support.

Super excited to have Trino support here for you all. Please bear in mind that Trino is only in the early stages of implementation, but we wanted to release it to y'all for testing.

Support has been limited to basically a "read only" state since any form of writing should be done in the confines of the database itself.

How to Connect

Connecting to a Trino database from Beekeeper Studio is straightforward. SElect Trino from the dropdown, and fill in the host, port, username, and password fields of the Trino Cluster (not any of the underlying databases), then click Connect.

Trino Connection Details

To connect to a Trino database, you'll need the following information:

  • Host: The IP address or hostname of your Trino server.
  • Port: The default port is 8080 for HTTP, or 8443 for HTTPS. This can be customized if your server uses a different port.
  • Username: Your Trino username, with default being the typical default.
  • Password: Your Trino password, if applicable.
  • Default Catalog (optional): The catalog you want initially connected to at startup

SSL / HTTPS Connections

If your Trino coordinator is configured with TLS/HTTPS, enable SSL in the connection form. Beekeeper Studio supports three SSL modes:

  1. Trust the server certificate — Enable SSL without providing any certificate files. Beekeeper Studio will connect over HTTPS but will not verify the server's certificate. This is the simplest option and works with self-signed certificates.
  2. Provide a CA certificate — If your Trino server uses a certificate signed by a private CA, provide the CA certificate file. Leave "Reject Unauthorized" unchecked to allow the connection.
  3. Full certificate verification — Provide the CA certificate and optionally a client certificate and key file, then check "Reject Unauthorized" to enforce full TLS verification.

Tip

If you import a connection URL that starts with https://, SSL will be enabled automatically.

Testing Your Trino Connection

Before saving your connection details, Beekeeper Studio allows you to test the connection:

  1. Enter your connection details.
  2. Click the Test Connection button.
  3. If the test is successful, you’re ready to connect. Otherwise, check your details and try again.

Saving Your Trino Connection

Once your connection details have been verified, you can choose to save them by entering a name, checking the Save Passwords box if desired, and then clicking save.
