About the SQL Anywhere JDBC driver

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

The SQL Anywhere JDBC driver

SAP SQL Anywhere (formerly Sybase SQL Anywhere) is a relational database and synchronization platform designed for embedded, mobile, and branch-office deployments. It is used in healthcare devices, retail POS systems, and disconnected enterprise applications.

Download SQL Anywhere JDBC Driver

The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager.

DbSchema and SQL Anywhere

DbSchema connects to SQL Anywhere using the JDBC driver and renders tables, foreign keys, views, and SQL Anywhere-specific features like event scheduling and synchronization metadata in the schema diagram.
