Consider one of the options described on the [Enabling secure database access](/looker/docs/enabling-secure-db-access) documentation page.\n\nCreate a Looker user\n--------------------\n\nIn Firebolt, create a user email and password for Looker to use to connect to your Firebolt instance.\n\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. 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. Some of the settings are described next:\n\n - **Name**: Specify the name of the connection. This is how you will refer to the connection in LookML projects.\n - **Dialect** : Specify the dialect **Firebolt**.\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.\n - **Host** : Specify the endpoint: `api.app.firebolt.io`\n - **Port**: Specify the database port. The default is 443.\n - **Database**: Specify the database name.\n - **Username**: Enter the database user email.\n - **Password**: Enter the database user password.\n - **Additional JDBC parameters**: Add any additional Firebolt JDBC parameters\n - **SSL**: Check to use SSL connections.\n - **Verify SSL**: Check to enforce strict SSL certificate verification.\n - **Max connections per node** : This setting can be left at the default value initially. See the [Connecting Looker to your database](/looker/docs/connecting-to-your-db#max_connections) documentation page for more information.\n - **Connection Pool Timeout** : Can be left at the default value initially. Read more about this setting on the [Connecting Looker to your database](/looker/docs/connecting-to-your-db#connection-pool-timeout) documentation page.\n - **SQL Runner Precache** : To cause SQL Runner not to preload table information and to load table information only when a table is selected, clear this option. Read more about this setting on the [Connecting Looker to your database](/looker/docs/connecting-to-your-db#sql_runner_precache) documentation page.\n - **Database Time Zone** : Specify the time zone used in the database. Leave this field blank if you do not want time zone conversion. See the [Using time zone settings](/looker/docs/using-time-zone-settings) documentation page for more information.\n3. 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\n4. 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\nFirebolt supports the following features as of Looker 25.14:"]]
