The official Firebolt JDBC driver supports Firebolt Core from version 3.6.3 and can be downloaded from the GitHub JDBC release page. A detailed description can be found on the JDBC documentation page and the corresponding API reference. The remainder of this page provides some explanations and examples specific to Firebolt Core.

​
Connection String

In order to connect to a Firebolt Core cluster with JDBC, you need to specify the address of the HTTP endpoint in the url connection parameter. For example, if you followed the Get Started guide to start a single-node Firebolt Core cluster on your local machine, its HTTP endpoint is exposed at localhost:3473 and you can use the following connection string to connect to the default database. 
jdbc:firebolt:?url=http://localhost:3473
More generally, the form of the connection string should be as follows. 
jdbc:firebolt:<database>?url=<http_endpoint_url>&<other_connection_params>
Recall that Firebolt Core does not support authentication, so the respective instructions outlined in the dedicated JDBC documentation page do not apply.

​
Examples

The Firebolt Core GitHub repository contains a sample Java application which demonstrates how to use the Firebolt JDBC driver to send queries to Firebolt Core.
