Usage

In order to make use of this handler and connect to the Databend database in MindsDB, the following syntax can be used: 
CREATE DATABASE databend_datasource
WITH
    engine = 'databend',
    parameters = {
        "protocol": "https",
        "user": "root",
        "port": 443,
        "password": "password",
        "host": "some-url.aws-us-east-2.default.databend.com",
        "database": "test_db"
    };
You can use this established connection to query your table as follows: 
SELECT *
FROM databend_datasource.example_tbl;
