About the PointBase JDBC driver

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

The PointBase JDBC driver

PointBase is a pure Java relational database from DataMirror, designed for embedded and mobile application deployment. It is fully ANSI SQL-92 compliant and supports J2ME CDC and J2SE environments.

PointBase may run in two modes: embedded and server mode. In the embedded mode the database engine runs directly in the application's JVM.

PointBase Embedded Mode

  • Required File(s): pbembedded.jar
  • Java Driver Class: com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:pointbase:embedded:PBPUBLIC
  • Website: PointBase

PointBase Server Mode

  • Required File(s): pbclient.jar
  • Java Driver Class: com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:pointbase:server://HOST:PORT/DB
  • Website: PointBase

DbSchema and PointBase

DbSchema connects to PointBase using the PointBase JDBC driver and renders tables and foreign keys in the schema diagram. Use DbSchema's SQL Editor to design and query PointBase schemas in both embedded and server modes.

Use PointBase 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 PointBase 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.
