SQLite JDBC Driver Download
Download the SQLite JDBC driver, copy the JDBC URL into DbSchema, and start designing schemas with ER diagrams — free Community Edition.
About the SQLite JDBC driver
A JDBC driver is a Java .jar library that lets applications connect to SQLite.
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 SQLite driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
The SQLite JDBC driver
SQLite is the world's most widely deployed embedded database — used in mobile apps (Android, iOS), browsers, IoT devices, and desktop applications. Unlike server-based databases, SQLite stores the entire database as a single file, requiring zero configuration or administration.
The SQLite JDBC URL
- Required File(s): sqlite-jdbc-xxx.jar
- Java Driver Class: org.sqlite.JDBC
- JDBC URL: jdbc:sqlite:FILE
- Website: Sqlite
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager. Original driver link is here.
DbSchema and SQLite
DbSchema connects to SQLite database files using the xerial JDBC driver and renders the schema as a visual ER diagram. This is especially useful for inspecting SQLite databases from Android or iOS app backups, and for designing schemas before deploying them in production with SQLite.
Test the driver with DbSchema
Connect SQLite, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Download driver & DbSchema
Get the SQLite driver zip below and install DbSchema for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Register the .jar
In DbSchema, open Driver Manager, add the extracted JAR, and paste your JDBC URL.
Design & document
Reverse engineer SQLite, edit the model visually, and publish schema documentation.
Use SQLite 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 SQLite 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.
