Downloading the JDBC or ODBC Driver

The JDBC or ODBC driver is used to connect to data warehouse clusters. You can download the JDBC or ODBC driver provided by GaussDB(DWS) from the management console or use the open-source JDBC or ODBC driver.

Open-Source JDBC or ODBC Driver

GaussDB(DWS) also supports open-source JDBC driver: PostgreSQL JDBC 9.3-1103 or later.

GaussDB(DWS) also supports open-source ODBC driver: PostgreSQL ODBC 09.01.0200 or later.

Downloading the JDBC or ODBC Driver

  1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) management console.
  2. In the navigation tree on the left, choose Client Connections.
  3. In the Driver area, choose a driver that you want to download.

    • JDBC Driver

      Select DWS JDBC Driver and click Download to download the JDBC driver matching the current cluster version. The driver package name is dws_8.1.x_jdbc_driver.zip.

      If clusters of different versions are available, you will download the JDBC driver matching the earliest cluster version after clicking Download. If there is no cluster, you will download the JDBC driver of the earliest version after clicking Download. GaussDB(DWS) clusters are compatible with earlier versions of JDBC drivers.

      Click Historical Version to download the corresponding JDBC driver version. You are advised to download the JDBC driver based on the cluster version.

      The JDBC driver can be used on all platforms and depends on JDK 1.6 or later.
