About the Vertica JDBC driver

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

The Vertica JDBC driver

Vertica is a columnar analytical database optimized for high-speed queries over very large datasets, widely used by enterprises for business intelligence, fraud detection, and machine learning feature stores. It supports ANSI SQL, in-database ML with Vertica ML Functions, and integration with Hadoop/S3.

The Vertica JDBC URL

  • Required File(s): vertica_5.1.4_jdk_5.jar
  • Java Driver Class: com.vertica.jdbc.Driver
  • JDBC URL: jdbc:vertica://HOST:PORT/DB
  • Website: Vertica

Download Vertica JDBC Driver

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

DbSchema and Vertica

DbSchema connects to Vertica using the Vertica JDBC driver and renders projection definitions, super projections, and buddy projections in the schema diagram. Use the SQL Editor to write Vertica-specific SQL including PARTITION BY, ENCODE BY, and SEGMENTED BY expressions.

Use Vertica 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 Vertica 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.
