Installing a JDBC driver v7

Choosing and installing a JDBC driver

Which JDBC driver you use depends on what database you're using. If you're using:

Note

For Microsoft SQL Server, if your system uses JDK/JAVA then it is recommended that you use an equal or earlier mssql-jdbc jre version than the JDK/JAVA version on your system. For example, a system with JDK/JAVA version 18 can use mssql-jdbc-11.2.0.jre18.jar, mssql-jdbc-11.2.0.jre17.jar, and so on.

Configuring the driver

After downloading the driver, create a symlink in the XDB-install-folder/lib/jdbc directory that points to the location where you installed the driver.

For Linux, create a symlink for the driver using these naming conventions:

Driversymlink name
EDBedb-jdbc18.jar
PostgreSQLpostgresql.jar
Oracleojdbc.jar
Microsoft SQL Servermssql-jdbc.jar
jTDSjtds.jar

For Windows, the drivers need to be copied to the XDB-install-folder/lib/jdbc directory and renamed using the same naming conventions.
