About the Ingres JDBC driver

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

The Ingres JDBC driver

Ingres is an open-source enterprise relational database with a long history in UNIX environments, government systems, and scientific computing. It supports ANSI SQL, row-level locking, stored procedures, and replication.

The Ingres JDBC URL

  • Required File(s): iijdbc.jar
  • Java Driver Class: com.ingres.jdbc.IngresDriver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:ingres://HOST:PARAM/DB;user=USER;password=PASSWORD; To this URL you can add further connection parameters ( timestamp, date format or money format ). For this use the manual URL configuration in the DbSchema Connection Dialog. Sample: ;TZ=EUROPE-CENTRAL;DATE_FMT=GERMAN;DECIMAL=.;MNY_FMT=L:$

Download Ingres JDBC Driver

The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager.

DbSchema and Ingres

DbSchema connects to Ingres using the JDBC driver and renders tables, views, and rules in the schema diagram. Use the Schema Documentation feature to generate reference docs for your Ingres schema.

Test the driver with DbSchema

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