About the MarkLogic JDBC driver

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

The MarkLogic JDBC driver

MarkLogic is an enterprise multi-model database that natively stores and queries JSON, XML, RDF, and binary content without requiring a fixed schema. It provides ACID transactions, built-in search, and bitemporal data management, making it a powerful choice for content repositories and data integration hubs. MarkLogic's Optic API exposes a relational view over its document collections for SQL-like query access.

The MarkLogic JDBC URL

• Required File(s): marklogic-xcc-xxx.jar
• Java Driver Class: com.marklogic.xcc.spi.XccDriver
• JDBC URL: jdbc:marklogic://{HOST}:{PORT}/{DB}
• Website: MarkLogic

MarkLogic uses HTTP Application Servers on port 8000 by default. The XCC connector enables JDBC connectivity to the MarkLogic server. Authentication uses MarkLogic digest credentials configured on the application server.

DbSchema and MarkLogic

DbSchema connects to MarkLogic via the XCC JDBC connector, allowing visualization of MarkLogic's multi-model schema structure including document collections, TDE template views, and relational projections created via the Optic API.
