JDBC drivers are Java library files with the extension '.jar', used by Java applications to connect to the database. Usually they are provided by the same company which developed the database software. DbSchema is an Download Cassandra JDBC Driver | DbSchema Client which already includes the Download Cassandra JDBC Driver | DbSchema JDBC driver. DbSchema can configure the Download Cassandra JDBC Driver | DbSchema JDBC URL and test the connectivity.

What is the JDBC URL?

The URL is a string (text) with a specific format containing information about the host where the database is running, the port, username, database name, etc. The URL format is specific to each driver. Any wrong character in the URL may make the database connectivity fail. Therefore we recommend installing DbSchema and try to get connected, and you will find the JDBC URL in the connection dialog.

Driver Information

For connecting to Cassandra we wrote our own open-source JDBC driver, available on GitHub.

• Required File(s): cassandra-driver.jar
• Java Driver Class: com.dbschema.Cassandra.JdbcDriver
• URL: jdbc:cassandra://host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]][/[keyspace];dataCenter[&options]]
• Website: DbSchema.com

The driver is wrote on top of the native Cassandra Java Driver. For connecting to multiple hosts you can pass an URL like: jdbc:cassandra://host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]][/[keyspace];dataCenter[&options]]

Find the DataCenter using 'nodetool status' or 'nodetool -h ::FFFF:127.0.0.1 status'

Connecting using SSL is possible setting the parameters: javax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/client.truststore&javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=password123& javax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/client.keystore&javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password123
This parameters can be also set in DbSchema.vmoptions file in the installation folder or ./DbSchema.app/Contents/vmoptions.txt on Mac OS, and add:

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/client.truststore
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=password123
# If you're using client authentication:
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/client.keystore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password123
