Dataphin:Set SelectDB or Doris as the compute engine for a Dataphin instance

Last Updated:Jun 22, 2026

Before creating a project for data development, you must set a compute engine for your Dataphin instance. After the compute engine is set, you can add the corresponding compute source to a project to provide computing and storage resources.

Prerequisites

The system metadata must be initialized. For more information, see Initialize the metadata warehouse with SelectDB or Doris as the metadata warehouse engine.

Limits

When SelectDB is set as the metadata warehouse compute engine, only SelectDB is supported as the compute source engine. Similarly, when Doris is set as the metadata warehouse compute engine, only Doris is supported as the compute source engine.

Procedure

  1. In the top navigation bar of the Dataphin homepage, choose Management Hub > System Settings.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Tenant Settings > Compute Settings.

  3. On the Compute Settings page, select SelectDB or Doris.

  4. Click Save.

What to do next

After the compute engine is set, you can add the corresponding compute source to a project to provide computing and storage resources. For more information, see Create a general project.
