Download CTreeAce JDBC Driver

What Is a JDBC Driver?

A JDBC driver is a Java library file (.jar) that enables Java applications — including DbSchema — to communicate with a database over a standard API. The driver translates generic JDBC calls into the network protocol understood by CTreeAce, so you never have to write low-level socket code. Drivers are typically distributed by the database vendor or as open-source projects.

Understanding the JDBC URL

Every JDBC driver identifies the target database through a connection URL. The URL encodes the hostname, port, database name, and any driver-specific parameters as a single string. The exact syntax varies per driver — the details for CTreeAce are listed in the section below.

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

DbSchema and c-treeACE

DbSchema connects to c-treeACE using the FairCom JDBC driver and renders table definitions including ISAM file structures and SQL views in the schema diagram. Use DbSchema's ER diagram to document legacy c-treeACE schemas.

DbSchema Database Designer

Explore CTreeAce Visually with DbSchema

Once the JDBC driver is configured, DbSchema connects to your CTreeAce database and gives you a full graphical workbench — no command-line required. Available as a free Community Edition and a full-featured PRO Edition. No registration needed to get started.

Interactive ER Diagrams

Reverse-engineer your CTreeAce schema into a drag-and-drop ER diagram. Arrange tables visually, add new columns, define foreign keys, and let DbSchema generate the DDL — all without writing SQL by hand.

Visual Query Builder

Compose CTreeAce queries by clicking on tables and columns — no SQL knowledge required. Add joins, filters, groupings, and aggregations through a point-and-click interface, then copy the generated SQL or run it directly against the live database.

Relational Data Explorer

Browse CTreeAce table data and follow foreign key relationships across tables in a single view. Edit cells inline, filter rows, and paginate through large datasets — all without leaving the explorer.

Schema Synchronization

Compare your CTreeAce schema across development, staging, and production environments. DbSchema generates the exact ALTER statements needed to close the gap and lets you review every change before executing — reducing the risk of unintended schema drift.
