Download the Elasticsearch 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 Elasticsearch.
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 Elasticsearch driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
Elasticsearch is a distributed search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene. While primarily a full-text search store, it also functions as a document database for log analytics (the ELK stack), APM, and near-real-time search applications.
Note: The Elasticsearch JDBC driver requires a Platinum or higher Elastic license. It is a commercial feature of Elastic Stack. For open-source alternatives, consider community-built drivers.
Download Elasticsearch JDBC Driver
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager.
DbSchema connects to Elasticsearch using the official x-pack-sql JDBC driver and renders index mappings as table schemas. Use the SQL Editor to run Elasticsearch SQL queries against your indices and export results to CSV.
Connect Elasticsearch, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Get the Elasticsearch 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 Elasticsearch, 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 Elasticsearch 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 Elasticsearch.
Teams working with Elasticsearch often use these engines too. Explore dedicated guides and JDBC setup for each.
