Download Tibero JDBC Driver
What Is a JDBC Driver?
A JDBC driver is a Java library file (.jar) that enables Java applications — including DbSchema — to communicate with a database over a standard API. The driver translates generic JDBC calls into the network protocol understood by Tibero, so you never have to write low-level socket code. Drivers are typically distributed by the database vendor or as open-source projects.
Understanding the JDBC URL
Every JDBC driver identifies the target database through a connection URL. The URL encodes the hostname, port, database name, and any driver-specific parameters as a single string. The exact syntax varies per driver — the details for Tibero are listed in the section below.
Download the Tibero JDBC Driver
Tibero is an Oracle-compatible relational database management system developed by TmaxSoft, designed for enterprise environments that require high performance and compatibility with existing Oracle-based applications. It supports PL/SQL, Oracle-compatible data types, and standard SQL with a focus on reducing licensing costs while maintaining compatibility. Tibero is widely deployed in Korean enterprise and government systems.
Tibero JDBC Driver Details
- Required File(s): tibero6-jdbc.jar (or tibero7-jdbc.jar)
- Java Driver Class: com.tmax.tibero.jdbc.TbDriver
- JDBC URL: jdbc:tibero:thin:@{HOST}[:{PORT}]:{DB}
- Website: TmaxSoft Tibero
The Tibero JDBC driver (tbclient.jar for older versions, tibero6-jdbc.jar for Tibero 6) is available from TmaxSoft. Default port is 8629. The JDBC URL format is similar to Oracle's thin driver syntax.
DbSchema and Tibero
DbSchema connects to Tibero using the TmaxSoft JDBC driver, supporting schema visualization for Tibero's Oracle-compatible database objects including tables, views, stored procedures, and packages, with full SQL editing capabilities through the built-in editor.

Explore Tibero Visually with DbSchema
Once the JDBC driver is configured, DbSchema connects to your Tibero database and gives you a full graphical workbench — no command-line required. Available as a free Community Edition and a full-featured PRO Edition. No registration needed to get started.
Interactive ER Diagrams
Reverse-engineer your Tibero schema into a drag-and-drop ER diagram. Arrange tables visually, add new columns, define foreign keys, and let DbSchema generate the DDL — all without writing SQL by hand.
Visual Query Builder
Compose Tibero queries by clicking on tables and columns — no SQL knowledge required. Add joins, filters, groupings, and aggregations through a point-and-click interface, then copy the generated SQL or run it directly against the live database.
Relational Data Explorer
Browse Tibero table data and follow foreign key relationships across tables in a single view. Edit cells inline, filter rows, and paginate through large datasets — all without leaving the explorer.
Schema Synchronization
Compare your Tibero schema across development, staging, and production environments. DbSchema generates the exact ALTER statements needed to close the gap and lets you review every change before executing — reducing the risk of unintended schema drift.
SQL Editor
Write and execute Tibero queries in the integrated SQL editor with schema-aware autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and instant result display. Run scripts, inspect execution plans, and export results to CSV or JSON from a single interface.
HTML Schema Documentation
Generate a static HTML site documenting every table, column, type, index, and relationship in your Tibero schema. Share it with your team or embed it in your project wiki — no extra tooling required.
