Connecting to Redis

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Redis and configure any necessary connection properties in a JDBC URL. You can also configure driver capabilities through the available Connection properties, from data modeling to firewall traversal. The Advanced Settings section shows how to set up more advanced configurations and troubleshoot connection errors.

Connecting to JDBC Data Sources

The CData JDBC Driver for Redis provides full support for integration into Java applications, including Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, and many other Integrated Development Environments, as well as J2EE applications running on a Java server such as Tomcat. You can find JSP, console, and swing demos in the installation folder.

Java Version Support

To deploy the driver JAR file, you must have Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 or higher installed on your system.

Redis Version Support

The driver models Redis instances as relational databases. The driver leverages the Redis commands to enable bidirectional access to Redis and Redis Enterprise data through SQL. Redis versions 2.8.0 and above are supported.
