Download the Exasol 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 Exasol.
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 Exasol driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
Exasol is an in-memory columnar analytical database known for its exceptional query performance on large datasets, used by enterprises for data warehousing, financial analytics, and BI reporting. It features automatic statistics collection, adaptive compression, and a massively parallel query engine.
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager.
DbSchema connects to Exasol using the Exasol JDBC driver and renders schema objects including virtual schemas, tables, and views in the diagram. Use the SQL Editor to write Exasol SQL with scripting (Lua, Python, Java UDFs) for in-database transformations.
Connect Exasol, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Get the Exasol 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 Exasol, 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 Exasol 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 Exasol.
Teams working with Exasol often use these engines too. Explore dedicated guides and JDBC setup for each.
