Java driver standard to connect to databases.
Frequently used with RDBMS databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
For Data Integration software such as Informatica or Sqoop this typically requires downloading the JDBC driver jar file for the specific database and then copying it into the 3rd party drivers directory of the software to pick it up and use it.
While hostname in the JDBC connection string examples below are shown as an x.x.x.x IP address for simplicity,
you should probably replace them with a DNS FQDN instead of an IP address in order to track failovers in
High Availability systems like AWS RDS.

Quickly download and extract the jdbc jar using this script in DevOps-Bash-tools:
download_mysql_jdbc_jar.shJDBC driver class name:
com.mysql.jdbc.DriverJDBC connection string example:
jdbc:mysql://x.x.x.x:3306/MY-DB?useSSL=false
The useSSL=false setting is often needed for the connection to succeed as most databases don't have SSL
configured on their ports.
