DbSchema HSql ER Diagram Designer
DbSchema is a HSql ER diagram database designer and query tool. Using DbSchema, you can design and document HSql databases while connected to the database server or without a connection.
Next, you can share the design with the team using Git. The design model loaded in DbSchema can be compared with the database, synchronization scripts can be generated, and the schema can be deployed to any database server.
How to Connect to HSQL Database
- Access the Connection Dialog
Choose "Connect to the database" or "New Model Connected to the Database" will let you select your database and open the Connection Dialog.
DbSchema automatically downloads the JDBC driver to connect to your database.
- Configure the Connection
- Troubleshoot Firewall Issues If you encounter connection issues, it may be due to firewall settings. Read how to enable Firewall Connections.
In the Connection Dialog window, select the JDBC URL you want to connect with. If your database is running in the cloud, choose Edit Manually and insert the JDBC URL from the cloud console.
Enter the host name, the authentication details, select your database as described in the Connection Dialog page.
Firewalls & anti-viruses may block database connections.
If you get HSQLDB HyperSQL User Not Found Error when you connect with a blank user id, it may be necessary to connect with the default admin user. The default login information would be a user id of SA and a blank password.
How to Open OpenOffice ODT Databases
If you have a single odt file, rename it to .zip and unpack it.
ODT databases should have database folder inside, with files
- dbName.data
- dbName.script
- dbName.properties
- dbName.backup In the DbSchema Connection dialog, choose the HSQL database, connect to file, and point the file to the folder/dbName. For example: jdbc:hsqldb:file:C:/Temp/TDDT-FX-TEST/database/TDDT-FX
You can switch to 'Edit Manually' in the JDBC URL combo, and make sure the path is pointing correctly.
