Hello,
I have just installed Kettle 3.1 on my Archlinux machine. I wanted to use it with MonetDB but when i try to create a JDBC connection i get the following message:
Error connecting to database [MonetDB] : org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException: Error occured while trying to connect to the database
Error connecting to database: (using class nl.cwi.monetdb.jdbc.MonetDriver) Server challenge string unusable! Challenge contains too few tokens: !an internal error has occurred, please try again later
This is actually a bug in the protocol, JDBC doesn't expect an error to be thrown. Your problem is not with JDBC, but with merovingian or the database: "an internal error has occurred, please try again later"
I have merovingian running in the back and created a database "pentaho". See status below:
Can you look in merovingian.log to see what it reports for database pentaho?
