This JDBC driver is mimicking a MySQL driver. As a result it can be configured as third party JDBC driver in Oracle SQL Developer to access the following databases:
SQL Developer provides a reduced functionality for non Oracle Databases. This driver allows you to connect to these databases and use the features for MySQL within SQL Developer.
The proxy driver rewrites some SQL statements to the SQL dialect of the target database. This ensures that the statements executed during navigation in the Connections window are understood by the target driver, and a meaningful result is returned.
The rewritten SQL is processed by the target JDBC driver, and the result is presented by SQL Developer which thinks it is talking to a MySQL database.
Binary releases are published here.
-
Download the driver (e.g.
jdbc-proxy-0.1.0.zipfrom the release page) -
Unzip the downloaded file in a folder of your choice
-
Register the
jdbc-proxy-0.1.0.jarfile in the "Third Party JDBC Drivers" section of the SQL Developer preferences as shown in the following screenshot
Please ensure that the proxy driver is the first driver in the list. Restart SQL Developer, if you had to change the order of the JDBC drivers.
The full syntax of a JDBC URL supported by the JDBC proxy driver looks as follows:
jdbc:mysql:<target-jdbc-url>:[<port>]/[database]
This looks like a MySQL JDBC URL, because the proxy driver is mimicking a MySQL JDBC driver. However, the part which contains the hostname in a MySQL URL contains now a <target-jdbc-url>. This <target-jdbc-url> has to be entered in the "Hostname" field of the "New / Select Database Connection" dialog in SQL Developer.
Only the values for "Username", "Password" and "Hostname" are used to build the JDBC URL. Therefore, you have to provide everything you need as URL parameters. Here are some examples for "Hostname" values:
| Target Database | JDBC URL (in Hostname) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Snowflake | jdbc:snowflake://<account>.snowflakecomputing.com:443/?db=toucan_db&warehouse=toucan_wh&schema=toucan_schema&role=training_role |
Properties db, warehouse, schema and role are set in the URL. |
| PostgreSQL | jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres |
No additional properties configured. |
| SQLite | jdbc:sqlite:/Users/phs/sqldev_sqlite.db |
No additional properties supported. |
| H2 | jdbc:h2:/Users/phs/h2testphs |
No additional properties supported. |
| MySQL | jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/public?zeroDateTimeBehavior=CONVERT_TO_NULL |
Property zeroDateTimeBehavior is set in the URL. The default is EXCEPTION, which is overridden by SQL Developer. |

Clone this repository
-
Open a terminal window in the project's root folder and run the maven build:
mvn -Dsqldev.basedir=/Applications/SQLDeveloper20.2.0.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper -DskipTests=true clean package
Amend the parameter sqldev.basedir to match the path of your SQL Developer installation. This folder is used to reference Oracle jar files which are not available in public Maven repositories.
-
The resulting file
jdbc-proxy-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.zipin thetargetdirectory contains the proxy and all target JDBC drivers.
