Materialize driver for Metabase

The metabase-materialize-driver lets Metabase connect to an instance of Materialize.

Note

With improvements to Materialize's PostgreSQL compatibility, you can now connect to Materialize directly using Metabase's default PostgreSQL driver. See the guide here: Using Materialize with Metabase.

To Use the Driver

With Docker

We provide a pre-built Docker image of Metabase including this driver as materialize/metabase on Docker Hub. To use it, run:

docker run -p 3000:3000 materialize/metabase

With self-hosted Metabase

To use the metabase-materialize-driver with an existing Metabase installation, copy a .jar file from one of our releases into the /plugins directory of your Metabase instance. Metabase will register the driver automatically! (For deployment-specific details, please consult the following sections.)

Connecting to Materialize

Select Materialize from the database dropdown when adding a new database. Next, use the following information to connect:
