Download MonetDB JDBC Driver

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

Connect MonetDB in DbSchema Install the driver, open a connection, reverse engineer your schema, and sync changes visually.

About the MonetDB JDBC driver

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

The MonetDB JDBC driver

MonetDB is an open-source columnar database management system from CWI (Netherlands) pioneering the column-store approach for analytical workloads. It is research-grade but production-ready, used for scientific data processing, BI, and applications requiring fast aggregate queries.

The MonetDB JDBC URL

  • Required File(s): monetdb-jdbc-xxx.jar
  • Java Driver Class: nl.cwi.monetdb.jdbc.MonetDriver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:monetdb://HOST:PORT/DB
  • Website: MonetDB

Download MonetDB JDBC Driver

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

DbSchema and MonetDB

DbSchema connects to MonetDB using the MonetDB JDBC driver and renders the columnar schema structure in the visual diagram. Use the SQL Editor for MonetDB SQL including BAT algebra extensions and column-optimized aggregate queries.

Test the driver with DbSchema

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

1
Download driver & DbSchema

Get the MonetDB driver zip below and install DbSchema for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

2
Register the .jar

In DbSchema, open Driver Manager, add the extracted JAR, and paste your JDBC URL.

3
Design & document

Reverse engineer MonetDB, edit the model visually, and publish schema documentation.

Use MonetDB visually in DbSchema

After the JDBC driver connects, you get ER diagrams, SQL editor, schema sync, and HTML documentation in one desktop app. Compare DbSchema editions.

ER diagrams

Reverse engineer MonetDB into an interactive diagram and edit structures visually.

SQL & query builder

Run SQL with autocomplete or compose queries without writing every join by hand.

Schema documentation

Export HTML docs your team can browse without installing DbSchema.
