About the DynamoDB JDBC driver

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

The DynamoDB JDBC driver

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed, serverless NoSQL key-value and document database designed for high-performance applications at any scale. It delivers single-digit millisecond response times and automatically replicates data across multiple AWS availability zones. DynamoDB supports flexible schema design with partition keys, sort keys, and secondary indexes.

The DynamoDB JDBC URL

  • Required File(s): dynamodb-jdbc-driver-xxx.jar
  • Java Driver Class: com.wisecoders.jdbc.dynamodb.JdbcDriver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:dynamodb://{HOST}[:{PORT}]
  • Website: Amazon DynamoDB

This JDBC driver is developed and maintained by the DbSchema team. It requires AWS credentials (access key ID and secret) and the target AWS region. For local development, use DynamoDB Local with jdbc:dynamodb://localhost:8000 to test without connecting to AWS.

Download DynamoDB JDBC Driver

The driver archive is a zip file. Unzip the downloaded archive to get the driver files. The driver source code can be found on GitHub repository.

DbSchema and DynamoDB

The DynamoDB JDBC driver developed by the DbSchema team allows DbSchema to connect to AWS DynamoDB, visualize table and index structures (partition keys, sort keys, GSIs, LSIs), run SQL queries against DynamoDB data, and explore items interactively through the data explorer.

Test the driver with DbSchema

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

1
Download driver & DbSchema

Get the DynamoDB driver zip below and install DbSchema for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

2
Register the .jar

In DbSchema, open Driver Manager, add the extracted JAR, and paste your JDBC URL.

3
Design & document

Reverse engineer DynamoDB, edit the model visually, and publish schema documentation.

Use DynamoDB 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 DynamoDB 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.
