About the Aurora PostgreSQL JDBC driver

A JDBC driver is a Java .jar library that lets applications connect to Aurora PostgreSQL. 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 PostgreSQL driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.

The Aurora PostgreSQL JDBC driver

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL is AWS's PostgreSQL-compatible relational database engine, offering up to 3× the throughput of standard PostgreSQL. It supports automatic scaling, global databases, and Babelfish for SQL Server compatibility — ideal for cloud-native workloads migrating from on-prem PostgreSQL.

The Aurora PostgreSQL JDBC URL

  • Required File(s): postgresql-nn.jdbc3.jar
  • Java Driver Class: org.postgresql.Driver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:postgresql://HOST[:PORT]/DB
  • Website: PostgreSQL
If you want to connect to Heroku Postgresql web-based database, please edit the JDBC driver URL ( in Driver Manager dialog ) and append ?ssl=true&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory in the end.

Download Aurora PostgreSQL JDBC Driver

The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager.

DbSchema and Aurora PostgreSQL

Aurora PostgreSQL uses the standard PostgreSQL wire protocol, so DbSchema connects using the PostgreSQL JDBC driver. Use DbSchema's Schema Documentation feature to generate navigable HTML docs for your Aurora PostgreSQL schemas across multiple schemas and databases.

Test the driver with DbSchema

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

Use Aurora PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL 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.
