Adding and Updating Liquibase Drivers
To establish a connection between Liquibase and your database, you must store the JDBC driver for your database version as a .jar
file in your liquibase/lib
folder.
Liquibase comes with pre-installed drivers for the following databases:
To use another database with Liquibase, you must add the appropriate database driver to liquibase/lib
. To replace a driver that’s already in liquibase/lib
, delete or rename the existing JDBC file and add the new one. You can download a database’s JDBC driver from its website.
If you specify a value for the driver in the Liquibase properties file, in the CLI, or as an environment variable, make sure it matches the appropriate driver in liquibase/lib
. If you use Liquibase with Maven, you can specify the driver in your pom.xml
file, as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle.database.jdbc</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc8</artifactId>
<version>13.3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
