Download the SAP Max DB JDBC driver, copy the JDBC URL into DbSchema, and start designing schemas with ER diagrams — free Community Edition.
A JDBC driver is a Java .jar library that lets applications connect to SAP Max DB.
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.
Host, port, database name, and SSL options are passed in a URL starting with jdbc:.
Each SAP Max DB driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
SAP MaxDB is a relational database management system developed by SAP for use with SAP Business Suite applications. It provides ACID compliance, high availability, and a compact footprint for on-premise SAP installations.
