Download EnterpriseDB JDBC Driver

Download the EnterpriseDB JDBC driver, copy the JDBC URL into DbSchema, and start designing schemas with ER diagrams — free Community Edition.

About the EnterpriseDB JDBC driver

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

The EnterpriseDB JDBC driver

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.

The EnterpriseDB (EDB) JDBC URL

• 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.
