Download Apache Ignite JDBC Driver
What Is a JDBC Driver?
A JDBC driver is a Java library file (.jar) that enables Java applications to communicate with a database. The JDBC is a standard interface implemented by each database with a specific driver. Drivers are typically distributed by the database vendor or as open-source projects.
Understanding the JDBC URL
The connection parameters including the database location, database name and connection method are passed to the driver using the JDBC URL. The JDBC URL is a text starting with 'jdbc:...' which combines the hostname, port, database name, and any driver-specific parameters. The exact syntax can be different for each JDBC driver.
The Apache Ignite JDBC Driver
Apache Ignite is a distributed in-memory computing platform that combines caching, key-value store, SQL, and stream processing in a single cluster. It supports ACID transactions, SQL queries via JDBC, and co-located compute with the data for maximum throughput.
The Apache Ignite JDBC URL
- Required File(s): ignite-core-xxx.jar
- Java Driver Class: org.apache.ignite.IgniteJdbcThinDriver
- JDBC URL: jdbc:ignite:thin://HOST[:PORT]

Download Apache Ignite JDBC Driver
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager. Download the tar.gz, unzip and use the file ignite-core-xxx.jar.
DbSchema and Apache Ignite
DbSchema connects to Apache Ignite using the Ignite thin JDBC driver and renders cache schema definitions as visual tables with their fields and indexes. Use the SQL Editor to query distributed in-memory caches via standard SQL.

Install DbSchema in minutes
DbSchema is free. Download the installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux and start DbSchema. No signup required.
Connect or open a sample
Reverse engineer an existing database or open a sample model to explore tables, relations, and indexes visually.
Design, document, deploy
Edit your schema, generate interactive documentation, and roll out reviewed changes across environments.
Explore Apache Ignite Visually with DbSchema
Once the JDBC driver is configured, DbSchema connects to your Apache Ignite 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 Apache Ignite 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 Apache Ignite 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 Apache Ignite 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 Apache Ignite 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 Apache Ignite 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 Apache Ignite schema. Share it with your team or embed it in your project wiki — no extra tooling required.
