## About

[Trino][trino-docs] is a distributed SQL query engine designed for fast analytic
queries against data of any size. It allows you to query data where it lives,
including Hive, Cassandra, relational databases or even proprietary data stores.

[trino-docs]: https://trino.io/docs/

## Available Tools

- [`trino-sql`](../tools/trino/trino-sql.md)  
  Execute parameterized SQL queries against Trino.

- [`trino-execute-sql`](../tools/trino/trino-execute-sql.md)  
  Execute arbitrary SQL queries against Trino.

## Requirements

### Trino Cluster

You need access to a running Trino cluster with appropriate user permissions for
the catalogs and schemas you want to query.

## Example

```yaml
kind: sources
name: my-trino-source
type: trino
host: trino.example.com
port: "8080"
user: ${TRINO_USER}  # Optional for anonymous access
password: ${TRINO_PASSWORD}  # Optional
catalog: hive
schema: default
```

{{< notice tip >}}
Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME}
instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.
