Download Aurora MySql JDBC Driver

Download the Aurora MySql JDBC driver, copy the JDBC URL into DbSchema, and start designing schemas with ER diagrams — free Community Edition.

Connect Aurora MySql in DbSchema Install the driver, open a connection, reverse engineer your schema, and sync changes visually.

About the Aurora MySql JDBC driver

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.

JDBC URL format

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.

The Aurora MySql JDBC driver

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.

The Aurora MySQL JDBC URL

  • Required File(s): mysql-connector-java-nn-bin.jar
  • Java Driver Class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:mysql://HOST[:PORT][/DB]
  • Website: MySQL

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.

DbSchema and Aurora MySQL

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.

Test the driver with DbSchema

Connect Aurora MySql, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.

1
Download driver & DbSchema

Get the Aurora MySql driver zip below and install DbSchema for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

2
Register the .jar

In DbSchema, open Driver Manager, add the extracted JAR, and paste your JDBC URL.

Use Aurora MySql visually in DbSchema

After the JDBC driver connects, you get ER diagrams, SQL editor, schema sync, and HTML documentation in one desktop app. Compare DbSchema editions.

ER diagrams

Reverse engineer Aurora MySql into an interactive diagram and edit structures visually.

SQL & query builder

Run SQL with autocomplete or compose queries without writing every join by hand.

Schema documentation

Export HTML docs your team can browse without installing DbSchema.
