You are viewing the documentation for Blueriq 17. Documentation for other versions is available in our documentation directory.
A JDBC driver (Java Database Connectivity) is a way for Java programs to connect to databases. When you run the Blueriq installer, a PostgreSQL driver is configured out-of-the-box. On this page you find instructions how to install a JDBC driver for your database and application server for the different database brands.
Supported JDBC Drivers
All supported database platforms can be found on the Platform support page.
Microsoft SQL Server
For Microsoft SQL Server, we recommend using the Microsoft JDBC Driver 12.2.0. This driver can be found at maven central https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/microsoft/sqlserver/mssql-jdbc/12.2.0.jre11/
This driver uses encryption by default and therefor you either have to
- setup a truststore with the correct certificate and reference it in the jdbc url
- auto accept the certificate using the
trustServerCertificate=trueinside the jdbc url
Oracle
For Oracle, we recommend to use the ojdbc8 driver: ojdbc8.jar version 21.9.0.0. The ojdbc8 driver can be downloaded from the Oracle website.
PostgreSQL
For PostgreSQL use the JDBC driver 42.6.0 which can be found at https://jdbc.postgresql.org/.
Application servers
Tomcat
On Tomcat, the JDBC driver is usually placed in the $CATALINA_HOME\lib folder.

JBoss EAP
For JBoss EAP the JDBC drivers should be added as a module.
