Where can I use the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver?

  1. BI, ETL, & Reporting Tools
  2. Custom Applications
  3. Serverless & Cloud

BI, ETL, & Reporting Tool Integration

JDBC is the most widely supported interface for connecting Java-based applications with data. All kinds of BI, Reporting, ETL, Database, and Analytics tools offer the ability to read and write data via JDBC connectivity.

... and many more!

Custom Applications

Build Java Apps That Connect To PostgreSQL

Developers can use PostgreSQL JDBC Driver to rapidly build Web, Desktop, and Mobile applications that interact with live data from PostgreSQL.

The PostgreSQL Driver has the same JDBC architecture as the JDBC drivers for MySQL and OLEDB, including Connection, Statement and ResultSet objects. Because of this you can now access PostgreSQL data in an easy, familiar way. You can use the PostgreSQL Driver through popular IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.), in code through familiar classes, and in data controls available through Swing, Eclipse SWT Widgets, etc.

Enterprise-class JDBC Connectivity

Support for Serverless & Cloud platform technologies

Leverage the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver to deliver next-generation on-demand cloud access to data. The PostgreSQL JDBC Driver offers straightforward PostgreSQL integration from modern serverless infrastructure services, like AWS Lambda, AWS Glue ETL, Microsoft Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions, and more.

JDBC Driver Performance

With traditional approaches to remote access, performance bottlenecks can spell disaster for applications. Regardless if an application is created for internal use, a commercial project, web, or mobile application, slow performance can rapidly lead to project failure. Accessing data from any remote source has the potential to create these problems. Common issues include:

  1. Network Connections - Slow network connections and latency issues are common in mobile applications.
  2. Service Delays - Delays due to service interruptions, resulting in server hardware or software updates.
  3. Large Data - Intentional or unintentional requests for large amounts of data.
  4. Disconnects - Complete loss of network connectivity.

The CData JDBC Driver for PostgreSQL solves many of these issues with support for replication queries that can be used to sync data to local databases, greatly improving the performance and dramatically reduce application bottlenecks.

More information about JDBC Driver performance capabilities are available in the included documentation.

Enterprise-Class Remoting

MySQL/SQL Database entry points for PostgreSQL Data

The CData JDBC drivers include powerful fully-integrated remoting capabilities that makes PostgreSQL data accessible from virtually anywhere. The drivers include the optional ability to accept incoming SQL and MySQL client connections and service standard database requests.

With the CData JDBC drivers, users can interact with PostgreSQL data from any client that supports SQL Server or MySQL: from web & mobile applications, to CRM and CMS systems, BI tools like SQL Server Analysis Services, and even through popular management applications like MySQL Workbench.

Enterprise-class JDBC Connectivity

The PostgreSQL JDBC Driver offers the most natural way to access PostgreSQL data from any Java/J2EE application. Simply use the PostgreSQL Driver to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. The driver is completely self-contained - no additional software installation is required!

PostgreSQL Integration

The PostgreSQL Driver has the same JDBC architecture as the JDBC drivers for MySQL and OLEDB, including Connection, Statement and ResultSet objects. Because of this you can now access PostgreSQL data in an easy, familiar way. You can use the PostgreSQL Driver through popular IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.), in code through familiar classes, and in data controls available through Swing, Eclipse SWT Widgets, etc.

For example:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;");

boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT * FROM PostgreSQLTable"); ResultSet rs=stat.getResultSet(); while(rs.next()){ for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++) { System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) +"="+rs.getString(i)); } }

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

PostgreSQL Driver goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the PostgreSQL Driver as easily as interacting with a database table.

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;");

String query = "UPDATE PostgreSQLTable SET Where= ...";

PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query); pstmt.setString(1, "Location"); pstmt.setString(2, "UID"); pstmt.execute(); int count=pstmt.getUpdateCount();

Frequently Asked PostgreSQL JDBC Driver Questions
