About the Snowflake JDBC driver

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

The Snowflake JDBC driver

Snowflake is a cloud-native data warehouse built for scale, running on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It features automatic scaling, zero-copy cloning, time travel, and a pay-per-query pricing model, making it the go-to platform for cloud analytics and data sharing.

The Snowflake JDBC URL

  • Required File(s): snowflake-jdbc-xxx.jar
  • Java Driver Class: net.snowflake.client.jdbc.SnowflakeDriver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:snowflake://HOST/?user=USER&[db=DB][&warehouse={WAREHOUSE}][&schema={SCHEMA}]
  • Website: Snowflake

Download Snowflake JDBC Driver

The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager. The driver can also be found on the Snowflake website.

DbSchema and Snowflake

DbSchema connects to Snowflake warehouses and renders the multi-database, multi-schema object hierarchy as navigable ER diagrams. Use the Schema Documentation feature to generate HTML docs for Snowflake schemas that span multiple data domains.

Use Snowflake 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 Snowflake 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.
