Download Neo4j JDBC Driver

Download the Neo4j JDBC driver, copy the JDBC URL into DbSchema, and start designing schemas with ER diagrams — free Community Edition.

About the Neo4j JDBC driver

A JDBC driver is a Java .jar library that lets applications connect to Neo4j. 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 Neo4j driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.

The Neo4j JDBC driver

Neo4j is the world's leading graph database, storing data as nodes and relationships that model highly connected domains naturally without costly joins. It powers applications in fraud detection, knowledge graphs, recommendation engines, and network analysis where relationships between entities are first-class data. Neo4j supports the Cypher query language and also exposes a JDBC-compatible interface for SQL tooling integration.

The Neo4j JDBC URL

• Required File(s): neo4j-jdbc-driver-xxx.jar
• Java Driver Class: org.neo4j.jdbc.Driver
• JDBC URL: jdbc:neo4j://{HOST}:{PORT}
• Website: Neo4j

The Neo4j JDBC driver communicates over the Bolt protocol on port 7687. For Neo4j AuraDB (cloud), use the Bolt+Routing URL: jdbc:neo4j+s://xxxxx.databases.neo4j.io. Authentication uses the standard Neo4j username and password credentials.

DbSchema and Neo4j

DbSchema connects to Neo4j via the Neo4j JDBC driver wrapping the Bolt protocol, enabling visualization of node label schemas and relationship types, and Cypher query execution through the SQL editor interface for graph database management teams.
