About the DaffodilDb JDBC driver

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

The DaffodilDb JDBC driver

DaffodilDB is a Java-based relational database that supports both embedded and server modes, featuring standard SQL, JDBC connectivity, and cross-platform deployment. It is used in Java applications that need an embedded database with server-mode scaling options.

DaffodilDb may run in two modes: local and server mode. In the local mode the database engine is started directly by the driver, and the software will run in the same thread, locally.

DaffodilDB Embedded Mode

• Required File(s): DaffodilDB_Embedded.jar, DaffodilDB_Common.jar
• Java Driver Class: in.co.daffodil.db.jdbc.DaffodilDBDriver
• JDBC URL: jdbc:daffodilDB_embedded:DB

DaffodilDB Server Mode

• Required File(s): DaffodilDB_client.jar
• Java Driver Class: in.co.daffodil.db.rmi.RmiDaffodilDBDriver
• JDBC URL: jdbc:daffodilDB://HOST:PORT/DB

Download DaffodilDB JDBC Driver

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

DbSchema and DaffodilDB

DbSchema connects to DaffodilDB using the JDBC driver and renders tables and relationships in the schema diagram. Both embedded and server mode connections are supported through the standard JDBC interface.
