JDBC drivers

Last modified: 18 October 2023

IntelliJ IDEA does not include bundled drivers in order to have a smaller size of the installation package and to keep driver versions up-to-date for each IDE version.

You can download JDBC drivers via IDE and manually:

  • Upon creating a new data source for your database connection in the Data Sources and Drivers dialog (ShiftEnter), IntelliJ IDEA provides a link for you to download the missing driver.

    The Download missing driver files link
  • For direct download links, refer to the JetBrains JDBC drivers page.

Location for the downloaded JDBC drivers is the IntelliJ IDEA configuration directory.

You can also specify your drivers for the data source instead of the provided ones.
