About the Redis JDBC driver

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

The Redis JDBC driver

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store widely used as a cache, message broker, and real-time database. It supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams, and more, making it a versatile building block for high-performance applications.

DbSchema provides an open-source JDBC driver for Redis that translates SQL queries into native Redis commands, enabling standard JDBC tooling to connect to Redis.

The Redis JDBC URL

• Required File(s): redis-jdbc-driver.jar
• Java Driver Class: com.wisecoders.jdbc.redis.JdbcDriver
• JDBC URL: jdbc:redis://{HOST}:{PORT}/{DB_INDEX}
• Website: redis.io

The default Redis port is 6379 and the default database index is 0. For TLS connections use jdbc:redis+ssl://host:6380/0. To authenticate, append ?password=yourpassword to the URL. For Redis Cluster, connect to any cluster node — the driver handles key slot routing transparently.

The driver archive is a zip file. Unzip it to obtain the driver jar. The source code is available on GitHub.

DbSchema and Redis

DbSchema detects Redis key namespaces and renders them as a visual schema diagram. Use the data explorer to browse hash fields, list elements, and set members, and the SQL editor to query Redis data through the JDBC translation layer.
