Download the DocumentDB 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 DocumentDB.
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 DocumentDB driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is AWS's managed document database service, providing MongoDB-compatible query operations on data stored in a proprietary storage engine. It is used for JSON document workloads where managed infrastructure and AWS integration are priorities.
The DocumentDB JDBC Driver is the same as the MongoDB driver, since Amazon DocumentDB is wire-compatible with MongoDB.
Download DocumentDB JDBC Driver
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager.
DbSchema connects to Amazon DocumentDB using the MongoDB-compatible JDBC driver and renders collections and their inferred schemas as visual diagrams. Use DbSchema to explore document structures and run MongoDB-compatible queries.
Connect DocumentDB, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Get the DocumentDB 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 DocumentDB, 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 DocumentDB 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.
Connection tips, ports, SSL, and schema design workflows on the database landing page.
Other drivers teams often configure alongside DocumentDB.
Teams working with DocumentDB often use these engines too. Explore dedicated guides and JDBC setup for each.
