The Jdbi library provides convenient, idiomatic access to relational databases in Java and other JVM technologies such as Kotlin, Clojure or Scala.
Jdbi is built on top of JDBC. If your database has a JDBC driver, you can use Jdbi with it.
Also check out the code examples in the Examples module.
Jdbi requires Java 11 or better to run.
We run CI tests against Java 11, 17 and 21.
Java 8, 9 and 10 are supported by any Jdbi version before 3.40.0.
Java 11 is supported by any Jdbi version up to 3.50.0.
Java 17 or better is required for Jdbi 3.51.0 or newer.
Jdbi has a very small footprint for its core but supports a huge number of other projects for mapping data, supporting data types. etc.
We run our test suite against a number of library versions for backwards compatibility tests. Currently, we test
Libraries:
- Google Guava
- Immutables
- Jackson
- JodaTime
- vavr
- Google Guice
- Kotlin
- Spring Framework
Jdbi will use the latest, stable release of a library. We update these dependencies for releases. For the libraries listed above, we will also test the two previous, stable versions of a library.
Databases:
Jdbi uses PostgreSQL for most of its non-in-memory tests. We test with the latest Postgres release that is supported by our testing libraries and the two previous released versions.
We also run tests inside testcontainers against a large set of databases.
Jdbi requires the latest LTS JDK version (Currently Java 21) or better to build. All release builds are done with the latest LTS version.
Jdbi is "batteries included" and uses the Apache Maven Wrapper. If an external Maven installation is used, Apache Maven 3.9 or later is required. Using the make
targets requires GNU make.
All build tasks are organized as make
targets.
Build the code an install it into the local repository:
$ make install
Running make
or make help
displays all available build targets with a short explanation. Some of the goals will require project membership privileges. The CONTRIBUTING.md document contains a list of all supported targets.
To add command line parameters to the maven executions from the Makefile, set the MAVEN_ARGS
variable:
% MAVEN_ARGS="-B -fae" make install
make tests
builds the code and runs all unit and integration tests.make run-tests
only runs the tests.
Some tests use Postgres and H2 databases (the tests will spin up temporary database servers as needed). Most modern OS (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and host architecture (x86_64, aarch64) should work.
For a full release build, docker or a docker compatible environment must be available. A small number of tests use testcontainers which in turn requires docker.
make install-nodocker
skips the tests when building and installing Jdbi locally. make tests-nodocker
skips the tests when only running tests.
Supported configurations are
- Docker Desktop on MacOS
- docker-ce on Linux
- podman 3 or better on Linux and MacOS
Other docker installations such as Colima may work but are untested and unsupported.
For podman on Linux, the podman socket must be activated (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71549856/testcontainers-with-podman-in-java-tests) for details. SELinux sometimes interferes with testcontainers if SELinux is active; make sure that there is an exception configured.
For podman on MacOS, it is necessary to set the DOCKER_HOST
environment variable correctly.
Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for instructions to set up your development environment to build Jdbi.
Jdbi uses SemVer to version its public API.
