Jdbc
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
This optional top level configuration element allows for configuring a JDBC connection. By default, the jOOQ code generator requires an active JDBC connection to reverse engineer your database schema. For example, if you want to connect to a MySQL database, write this:
<configuration> <jdbc> <driver>com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</driver> <url>jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb</url> <!-- "username" is a valid synonym for "user" --> <user>root</user> <password>secret</password> </jdbc> </configuration>
See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.
new org.jooq.util.jaxb.Configuration() .withJdbc(new Jdbc() .withDriver("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver") .withUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb") // "username" is a valid synonym for "user" .withUser("root") .withPassword("secret") )
See the configuration XSD and programmatic code generation for more details.
// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
generationTool { jdbc { driver = "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver" url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb" // "username" is a valid synonym for "user" user = "root" password = "secret" } }
See the configuration XSD and gradle code generation for more details.
Note that when using the programmatic configuration API through the GenerationTool
, you can also pass a pre-existing JDBC connection to the GenerationTool
and leave this configuration element alone.
Optional JDBC properties
JDBC drivers allow for passing java.util.Properties
to the JDBC driver when creating a connection. This is also supported in the code generator configuration with a list of key/value pairs as follows:
<configuration> <jdbc> <driver>com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</driver> <url>jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb</url> <properties> <property> <key>user</key> <value>root</value> </property> <property> <key>password</key> <value>secret</value> </property> </properties> </jdbc> </configuration>
See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.
new org.jooq.util.jaxb.Configuration() .withJdbc(new Jdbc() .withDriver("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver") .withUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb") .withProperties( new Property() .withKey("user") .withValue("root"), new Property() .withKey("password") .withValue("secret") ) )
See the configuration XSD and programmatic code generation for more details.
// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.

generationTool { jdbc { driver = "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver" url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb" properties { property { key = "user" value = "root" } property { key = "password" value = "secret" } } } }
See the configuration XSD and gradle code generation for more details.
When the JDBC configuration is optional
There are some exceptions, where the JDBC connection does not need to be configured, for instance when using the JPADatabase (to reverse engineer JPA annotated entities) or when using the XMLDatabase (to reverse engineer an XML file). Please refer to the respective sections for more details.
