Download the CSV Files 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 CSV Files.
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 CSV Files driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
CSV files are the universal format for tabular data exchange — used in data migration, reporting, spreadsheet integration, and as the output of nearly every database's export function. The CSV JDBC driver allows SQL queries directly over comma-separated and tab-delimited text files.
Download CSV Files JDBC Driver
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager. The driver source code can be found on GitHub repository.
DbSchema connects to CSV files using the CSV JDBC driver and renders each file as a queryable SQL table. Use the SQL Editor to join multiple CSV files, filter rows, and export results — all without importing data into a database first.
Connect CSV Files, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Get the CSV Files 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 CSV Files, 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 CSV Files 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.
