A Desktop GUI for Tibero Schema Design

Build a clearer workflow for Tibero: reverse engineer existing schemas into interactive ER diagrams, model changes visually, and generate reviewed SQL scripts before deployment.

DbSchema is built for visual modeling, schema documentation, and deployment. Keep an offline model in Git, collaborate across teams, and publish documentation that developers, analysts, and stakeholders can navigate in minutes.

Tibero's Oracle-Compatible Architecture and Schema Visualization

Tibero is an enterprise relational database management system developed by TmaxSoft in South Korea. It is designed to be highly compatible with Oracle Database at the SQL, PL/SQL, and data dictionary levels, making it a viable migration target for Oracle workloads. Tibero supports Oracle-compatible data types, sequences, synonyms, database links, packages, stored procedures, functions, and triggers, as well as enterprise features such as table partitioning, online redo logs, and multi-tenant tablespace management.

DbSchema connects to Tibero using the Tibero JDBC driver and reverse-engineers the full schema, including tables, views, indexes, sequences, and stored procedures. The visual diagram renders foreign key relationships as directed edges between tables, giving your team a clear picture of the data model that mirrors what your Oracle-compatible applications expect. Schema objects like packages and stored procedures appear in the schema tree alongside tables and views.

Writing Oracle-Compatible SQL and PL/SQL Against Tibero

Because Tibero supports Oracle's PL/SQL dialect (referred to as the Tibero Stored Procedure Language), you can write BEGIN...END blocks, DECLARE sections, cursor loops, exception handlers, and dynamic SQL directly in DbSchema's SQL editor. This is particularly useful for migrating Oracle scripts to Tibero, since you can test them interactively and iterate quickly without deploying to a full Oracle instance.

DDL statements such as CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE, CREATE PACKAGE, and CREATE TRIGGER execute correctly through the Tibero JDBC interface. DbSchema's SQL editor supports multiple tabs, so you can have your schema DDL, your data validation queries, and your PL/SQL blocks open simultaneously and switch between them without losing your work. Query results are displayed in the built-in results grid with support for large result sets and CSV export.

Browsing Tibero Table and View Contents Row by Row

The DbSchema data explorer opens Tibero table and view contents for row-level browsing, no SQL required. Page through records, filter by column values using simple expressions, and inspect individual rows to verify data after a load operation or a stored procedure run. Views defined via PostgREST-style row-level security equivalents in Tibero (using Oracle-compatible VPD — Virtual Private Database policies) are also browsable, though the data returned will reflect whatever policy context the JDBC user operates under.

The explorer is especially helpful when validating Oracle-to-Tibero migrations. After migrating data from an Oracle source, you can use the explorer to compare row counts and spot-check column values in Tibero against the expected values, all within the same DbSchema session that holds your schema diagram and migration SQL tabs.

Connecting to Tibero Step by Step

Because Tibero does not publish its driver to Maven Central, the setup has one extra step versus a typical JDBC connection:

1. Download and install DbSchema.
2. Locate tbclient.jar in your Tibero installation directory (typically under $TB_HOME/client/lib/) and add it as an external driver in DbSchema's driver configuration, using driver class com.tmax.tibero.jdbc.TbDriver.
3. Create a new connection with the JDBC URL jdbc:tibero:thin:@localhost:8629:TIBERO, where 8629 is the default Tibero listener port and TIBERO is the default SID (database name).
4. Enter the Tibero username and password — the default DBA account is sys or tibero depending on the installation.
5. Connect. DbSchema reverse-engineers tables, views, indexes, sequences, and stored procedures into the diagram.

If Tibero runs on a remote host, replace localhost with the server hostname or IP address. For high-availability setups using Tibero TAC (Tibero Active Cluster), connect to the SCAN address rather than an individual node.

Tibero Teams Gain These Advantages with DbSchema

• Provides a visual ER diagram for Tibero schemas, making Oracle-to-Tibero migrations easier to document and validate.
• Enables PL/SQL-compatible script testing directly against Tibero without requiring a full Oracle environment.
• Helps teams unfamiliar with TBAdmin navigate Tibero schema objects through a widely-used GUI alternative.
• Renders stored procedures, packages, and triggers alongside table diagrams for a complete architectural view.
• Generates offline schema documentation for regulatory compliance or architecture handoff documentation.
• Supports mixed environments where Tibero coexists with other databases, all managed from a single DbSchema installation.

Documenting an Oracle-to-Tibero migration by hand is slow and error-prone. Download DbSchema for free to turn Tibero's schema, packages, and triggers into one diagram you can validate against the source Oracle system.
