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 and ODBC drivers: PostgreSQL JDBC 9.3-1103 or later; PostgreSQL ODBC 09.01.0200 or later

Downloading the JDBC or ODBC Driver

Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) management console.
In the navigation pane on the left, click Connections.
In the Driver area, choose a driver that you want to download.
- JDBC Driver
  Method 1:
  
  Select DWS JDBC Driver and click Download to download the JDBC driver matching the current cluster version. 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.
- ODBC Driver
  Select a corresponding version and click Download to download the ODBC driver matching the current cluster version.
  
  Click Historical Version to download the corresponding ODBC driver version. You are advised to download the ODBC driver based on the cluster version.
  
  The ODBC driver is applicable to the following operating systems only:
  - Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 or later
  - x86 servers: RHEL 6.4 to RHEL 7.6
  - x86 servers: CentOS 6.4 to CentOS 7.4
  - x86 servers: SUSE 11.1 to SUSE 11.4; SUSE 12.0 to SUSE 12.3
  - Kunpeng servers: EulerOS 2.8
  Windows drivers can only be 32-bit and can be used in 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems. However, the applications must be 32-bit.
