SQL Workbench/J uses standard Java/JDBC calls to the database and thus should work against any DBMS that has a JDBC driver.

For some features such as displaying the source for triggers or views no JDBC API is available and these must be implemented for each DBMS separately.

SQL Workbench/J has been specifically tested with the following or they have been reported to work with SQL Workbench/J:

• PostgreSQL (Download JDBC driver)
• Oracle (Download JDBC driver)
• H2 Database Engine
• Firebird SQL (Download JDBC driver)
• Apache Derby
• HSQLDB
• IBM DB2 (Download JDBC driver)
• Informix
• Ingres
• SQLite (with SQLiteJDBC)
• MySQL (Download JDBC Driver)
• Microsoft SQL Server (Download MS driver Download free jTDS driver)
• Teradata (Download JDBC driver)
• LucidDB
• Cubrid

If you find that not all features (especially in the DbExplorer) work for your DBMS, please feel free to contact me.

SQL Workbench/J also works with ODBC drivers through the JDBC/ODBC bridge, but this is not recommended. Basic queries on e.g. Excel® worksheets or Microsoft Access databases do work.
