Download InfluxDB JDBC Driver
What Is a JDBC Driver?
A JDBC driver is a Java library file (.jar) that enables Java applications — including DbSchema — to communicate with a database over a standard API. The driver translates generic JDBC calls into the network protocol understood by InfluxDB, so you never have to write low-level socket code. Drivers are typically distributed by the database vendor or as open-source projects.
Understanding the JDBC URL
Every JDBC driver identifies the target database through a connection URL. The URL encodes the hostname, port, database name, and any driver-specific parameters as a single string. The exact syntax varies per driver — the details for InfluxDB are listed in the section below.
Download the InfluxDB JDBC Driver
InfluxDB is a purpose-built time-series database by InfluxData, designed for high-write-throughput metrics, monitoring, IoT sensor data, and DevOps observability. It provides a custom query language (InfluxQL, Flux) and native integrations with Grafana, Telegraf, and Kapacitor.
InfluxDB JDBC Driver Details
- Required File(s): influxjdbcXX.jar
- Java Driver Class: com.wisecoders.dbschema.influxdb.JdbcDriver
- JDBC URL: https://HOST:PORT/DB?org=PARAM&token=PARAM2

DbSchema and InfluxDB
DbSchema connects to InfluxDB using the JDBC driver and renders measurements and tag keys as queryable schema objects. Use the SQL Editor to write InfluxQL queries and explore time-bucketed data in the result viewer.

Explore InfluxDB Visually with DbSchema
Once the JDBC driver is configured, DbSchema connects to your InfluxDB database and gives you a full graphical workbench — no command-line required. Available as a free Community Edition and a full-featured PRO Edition. No registration needed to get started.
Interactive ER Diagrams
Reverse-engineer your InfluxDB schema into a drag-and-drop ER diagram. Arrange tables visually, add new columns, define foreign keys, and let DbSchema generate the DDL — all without writing SQL by hand.
Visual Query Builder
Compose InfluxDB queries by clicking on tables and columns — no SQL knowledge required. Add joins, filters, groupings, and aggregations through a point-and-click interface, then copy the generated SQL or run it directly against the live database.
Relational Data Explorer
Browse InfluxDB table data and follow foreign key relationships across tables in a single view. Edit cells inline, filter rows, and paginate through large datasets — all without leaving the explorer.
Schema Synchronization
Compare your InfluxDB schema across development, staging, and production environments. DbSchema generates the exact ALTER statements needed to close the gap and lets you review every change before executing — reducing the risk of unintended schema drift.
SQL Editor
Write and execute InfluxDB queries in the integrated SQL editor with schema-aware autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and instant result display. Run scripts, inspect execution plans, and export results to CSV or JSON from a single interface.
HTML Schema Documentation
Generate a static HTML site documenting every table, column, type, index, and relationship in your InfluxDB schema. Share it with your team or embed it in your project wiki — no extra tooling required.
