Download EnterpriseDB (EDB) 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 EnterpriseDB (EDB), 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 EnterpriseDB (EDB) are listed in the section below.

EnterpriseDB (EDB) Postgres Advanced Server is an enterprise-grade distribution of PostgreSQL with added Oracle compatibility features, security enhancements, and performance optimizations. It includes Oracle-compatible PL/SQL procedures, packages, and built-in functions, enabling migration of Oracle workloads to an open-source foundation. EDB is widely used in regulated industries requiring enterprise support and compliance certifications.
EnterpriseDB (EDB) JDBC Driver Details
- Required File(s): postgresql-xxx.jar (PostgreSQL JDBC Driver)
- Java Driver Class: org.postgresql.Driver
- JDBC URL: jdbc:postgresql://{HOST}:{PORT}/{DB}
- Website: EnterpriseDB (EDB)
EDB Postgres Advanced Server uses port 5444 by default, unlike standard PostgreSQL's port 5432. The standard PostgreSQL JDBC driver is fully compatible with EDB. EDB-specific features such as Oracle-compatibility packages and advanced partitioning are accessible via the standard PostgreSQL wire protocol.
DbSchema and EnterpriseDB (EDB)
DbSchema connects to EnterpriseDB Postgres Advanced Server using the standard PostgreSQL JDBC driver, rendering EDB-specific schema elements including Oracle-compatibility packages, procedures, and advanced partitioning structures through the visual schema designer.

Explore EnterpriseDB (EDB) Visually with DbSchema
Once the JDBC driver is configured, DbSchema connects to your EnterpriseDB (EDB) 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 EnterpriseDB (EDB) 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 EnterpriseDB (EDB) 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 EnterpriseDB (EDB) 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 EnterpriseDB (EDB) 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.
SQL Editor
Write and execute EnterpriseDB (EDB) queries in the integrated SQL editor with schema-aware autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and instant result display. Run scripts, inspect execution plans, and export results to CSV or JSON from a single interface.
HTML Schema Documentation
Generate a static HTML site documenting every table, column, type, index, and relationship in your EnterpriseDB (EDB) schema. Share it with your team or embed it in your project wiki — no extra tooling required.
