Hi Community,
I need help regarding the class not found issue. I'm trying to connect databricks in python via

jaydebeapi, provided proper class name `com.databricks.client.jdbc.Driver` and jarpath `databricks-jdbc-2.6.34.jar`, but i'm getting com.databricks.client.jdbc.Driver is not found error.
Am i using the wrong jar and class name?

Hello @HASSAN_UPPAL123
The class name is correct, for the jar please try downloading the latest from here

This issue may also be a classpath issue were the jar is not exported correctly in your client setup, I see similar issues/ suggested solutions reported in jaydebeapi's github
