title: Connect to Athena using SQL workbench
body: <p>I am trying to connect to Athena using SQL workbench. I followed all the instructions from page 15 to 19 mentioned in this PDF file:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/athena-downloads/drivers/JDBC/SimbaAthenaJDBC_2.0.7/docs/Simba+Athena+JDBC+Driver+Install+and+Configuration+Guide.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://s3.amazonaws.com/athena-downloads/drivers/JDBC/SimbaAthenaJDBC_2.0.7/docs/Simba+Athena+JDBC+Driver+Install+and+Configuration+Guide.pdf</a></p>
  
  <p>If I use the default athena bucket name, I get this error:</p>
  
  <p>S3://aws-athena-query-results-51346970XXXX-us-east-1/Unsaved</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[Simba]AthenaJDBC An error has been thrown from the AWS SDK
    client. Unable to execute HTTP request: No such host is known
    (athena.useast-1.amazonaws.com) [Execution ID not available]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>For any other bucketname I get this error:</p>
  
  <p>s3://todel162/testfolder-1</p>
