Download the Aurora MySql JDBC driver, copy the JDBC URL into DbSchema, and start designing schemas with ER diagrams — free Community Edition.
A JDBC driver is a Java .jar library that lets applications connect to Aurora MySql.
DbSchema uses JDBC to reverse engineer schemas, run SQL, and generate documentation.
Driver files are usually published by the database vendor or an open-source project.
Host, port, database name, and SSL options are passed in a URL starting with jdbc:.
Each Aurora MySql driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
Amazon Aurora MySQL is AWS's MySQL-compatible relational database engine rebuilt for the cloud, offering up to 5× the throughput of standard MySQL with automated storage scaling, multi-AZ failover, and read replica support. It is fully compatible with MySQL 5.7 and 8.0 applications.
Download Aurora MySQL JDBC Driver
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager. The Aurora driver is also available at https://github.com/threadly/auroraArc.
Aurora MySQL uses the same wire protocol as MySQL, so DbSchema connects using the standard MySQL Connector/J. Use DbSchema's ER diagrams to visualize Aurora schemas and the Schema Synchronization feature to compare schemas between Aurora clusters.
Connect Aurora MySql, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Get the Aurora MySql driver zip below and install DbSchema for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
In DbSchema, open Driver Manager, add the extracted JAR, and paste your JDBC URL.
Reverse engineer Aurora MySql, edit the model visually, and publish schema documentation.
After the JDBC driver connects, you get ER diagrams, SQL editor, schema sync, and HTML documentation in one desktop app. Compare DbSchema editions.
Reverse engineer Aurora MySql into an interactive diagram and edit structures visually.
Run SQL with autocomplete or compose queries without writing every join by hand.
Export HTML docs your team can browse without installing DbSchema.
