Download the Teradata 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 Teradata.
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 Teradata driver uses its own syntax — see the connection details below.
Teradata is an enterprise-class parallel relational database designed for very large data warehouses and analytical workloads. It is widely used in retail, finance, and telecommunications for multi-petabyte BI and predictive analytics at scale.
The driver archive is a zip file. Extract it and load the .jar files using DbSchema's Driver Manager. You can also download the official JDBC driver from the Teradata website.
DbSchema connects to Teradata using the TeraDriver and renders primary index definitions, partitioning, and PI/SI relationships in the schema diagram. Use the SQL Editor to write Teradata-specific SQL including BTEQ-style macros and volatile tables.
Connect Teradata, build your first ER diagram in minutes. No account required.
Get the Teradata driver zip below and install DbSchema for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
In DbSchema, open Driver Manager, add the extracted JAR, and paste your JDBC URL.
Reverse engineer Teradata, edit the model visually, and publish schema documentation.
After the JDBC driver connects, you get ER diagrams, SQL editor, schema sync, and HTML documentation in one desktop app. Compare DbSchema editions.
Reverse engineer Teradata into an interactive diagram and edit structures visually.
Run SQL with autocomplete or compose queries without writing every join by hand.
Export HTML docs your team can browse without installing DbSchema.
