These instructions describe that process, assuming use of a startup script similar to the examples provided on the [looker-open-source GitHub page](https://github.com/looker-open-source/customer-scripts/tree/master/startup_scripts).\n\nYou will need to acquire a DataVirtuality driver JAR, include it as part of the startup process, and add an option to tell Looker to access it.\n\nEncrypting network traffic\n--------------------------\n\nIt is a best practice to encrypt network traffic between the Looker application and your database. Consider one of the options described on the [Enabling secure database access](/looker/docs/enabling-secure-db-access) documentation page.\n\nInstalling the DataVirtuality JDBC driver\n-----------------------------------------\n\nFollow the steps on the [Unpackaged JDBC drivers](/looker/docs/unpackaged-jdbc-drivers) documentation page using the following values:\n\n**driver symbol** : `datavirtuality`\n\n**driver entry**: \n\n - name: datavirtuality\n dir_name: datavirtuality\n module_path: com.datavirtuality.dv.jdbc.Driver\n\nCreating the Looker connection to your database\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nFollow these steps to create the connection from Looker to your database:\n\n1. In the **Admin** section of Looker, select **Connections** , and then click **Add Connection**.\n2. Select **DataVirtuality** from the **Dialect** drop-down menu.\n\n | **Note:** If you are on a [Looker (Google Cloud core)](/looker/docs/looker-core-overview) instance and you don't see your dialect listed in the **Dialect** drop-down menu, see the [Looker (Google Cloud core) documentation](/looker/docs/looker-core-dialects#supported_dialects_for) to verify that the dialect is supported for Looker (Google Cloud core) instances.\n3. Fill out the connection details. The majority of the settings are common to most database dialects. See the [Connecting Looker to your database](/looker/docs/connecting-to-your-db) documentation page for information.\n\n4. To verify that the connection is successful, click **Test** . See the [Testing database connectivity](/looker/docs/testing-db-connectivity) documentation page for troubleshooting information.\n\n5. To save these settings, click **Connect**.\n\nFeature support\n---------------\n\nFor Looker to support some features, your database dialect must also support them.\n\nDataVirtuality supports the following features as of Looker 25.14:"]]
