Generic JDBC is a flexible database connectivity layer that lets Aqua Data Studio connect to any data source with a compatible JDBC driver including databases not natively supported by ADS. It is designed for teams working with custom, third-party, or less common database platforms that expose a standard JDBC interface. Specify your driver location, connection URL, and driver class name once, and ADS gives you full access to query, browse, and manage your data using the complete platform toolkit.
JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is the standard API that lets Java applications communicate with virtually any relational or non-relational database through a common interface. With Aqua Data Studio’s Generic JDBC connection type, you can connect to any database that exposes a JDBC driver including custom, third-party, and less common platforms not natively supported by ADS without leaving your primary IDE.
Specify your driver location, define the connection URL and driver class name, and ADS delivers the full toolkit: query analysis, visual data editing, schema browsing, ER modeling, import/export, and more all working through your JDBC driver.
