When adding a Jar file, it is only possible to select one per time. Some drivers, like Simba for BigQuery, have like 30 jar files and it takes a very long time to set. Suggestion: allow to add more than one file per time.

This doesn’t help you at this point, I suspect, but you can also just drop the myriad .jar files into the `user-lib/jdbc` directory. There’s no filepath mapping - we just load every .jar file in that directory and then look for the classname you supply.
