Download Aurora PostgreSQL JDBC Driver

What are JDBC Drivers?

JDBC drivers are Java library files with the extension '.jar', used by Java applications to connect to the database. Usually they are provided by the same company which developed the database software.

What is the JDBC URL?

The JDBC Driver requires the JDBC URL to know where the database is located ( on which machine and port), the database name or other settings. All this are passed as a string, specific for each database and driver.
