NuoDb JDBC Driver
This article will explain what are JDBC drivers, how to download the NuoDb JDBC driver and how to connect to NuoDb using DbSchema Free Database Designer.
What are JDBC Drivers?
JDBC drivers are Java library files with the extension .jar used by all Java applications to connect to the database. Usually, they are provided by the same company which implemented the NuoDb software. DbSchema Tool already includes an NuoDb driver, which is automatically downloaded when you connect to NuoDb.
What is the JDBC URL?
Each JDBC driver is using a specific 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 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. Then you can find the right URL directly in the DbSchema connection dialog.

Connect to NuoDb using DbSchema Free Edition
Installing DbSchema Free edition will help to test the database connectivity and the JDBC driver URL.
When the download finished please follow this steps:
- 1 Select an Alias for your database connection. This will be the name of this specific connection to the database.
- 2 Select 'NuoDb' from the list of DBMS (Database Management Systems).
- 3
The driver for your database will be automatically downloaded for you in the folder
- C:\Users\YourUser\.DbSchema\drivers\NuoDb (Windows) or
- /Users/YourUser/.DbSchema/drivers/NuoDb (Linux and MacOS).
- 4
There are two tabs you can use to connect. 'Compose URL' will ask for the host, port, username, etc., and will create the JDBC URL for you.
The 'Edit URL' will let you directly enter the JDBC URL.
You can use the first tab to connect, and then see the created URL in the second tab.
- 5 If connectivity succeeds, you should get your first DbSchema project and first diagrams.
Connectivity Troubleshooting
If you get problems connecting to the database, please remember :- Press the ping button in the connection dialog to make sure the host and port are reachable.
- Enable Remote connections as they are not always enabled by default. This may require configuration changes.
- Windows Firewall may block the communication. You may need to reconfigure or disable it.
- Check the driver version is compatible with the database software. It may be that DbSchema provided a JDBC driver is not the latest version. Please inform us in this case.
