JDBC drivers

JDBC drivers can be used by applications to connect to databases. The Grid provides drivers for the databases that are supported by Grid. However, if an application requires other drivers they can be uploaded manually.

Use the following procedures to manage the database drivers that can be used by application JDBC connections.

Note: You cannot edit existing drivers, only add new ones (and remove old ones).

Add a database driver

The Grid supports the uploading of new database drivers (type 4 JDBC drivers only). If you have type 4 JDBC drivers you want to use, you can upload them to the Grid.

  1. Navigate to the Configurations tab.
  2. Click JDBC Drivers.
  3. Click Add New.
  4. Specify a name in the Name text field.
  5. Browse to the driver file that you want to upload.
  6. Click Save.

Remove database drivers

  1. Navigate to the Configuration tab.
  2. Click JDC Drivers menu.
  3. Select the check box for each driver that you want to remove.
  4. Click Delete and confirm that you want to remove the driver.
Note: You cannot remove the Grid internal drivers. You cannot remove drivers that are being used by applications. Any application using the driver is shown in the Used By column. You must first either uninstall the application or remove the connection configuration that is using the driver.
