Download the Interbase 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 Interbase.
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 Interbase driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
InterBase is a high-performance SQL database known for its small footprint, on-disk encryption, and multi-generational architecture (MGA), which provides snapshot isolation without table locks. It is widely used in embedded applications and Delphi/C++ Builder environments.
Download InterBase JDBC Driver
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager.
DbSchema connects to InterBase using the compatible JDBC driver and renders schemas including triggers, generators, and stored procedures as interactive ER diagrams.
Connect Interbase, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Get the Interbase 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 Interbase, 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 Interbase 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 Interbase.
Teams working with Interbase often use these engines too. Explore dedicated guides and JDBC setup for each.
