The JDBC drivers for all databases currently supported for Confluence are linked below. You will need to make the driver available to your application server, as described in the appropriate setup guide.

(info) Please note, we bundle a number of JDBC drivers with Confluence, as shown below. You do not have to download or install the drivers for the relevant databases, if you are using a direct JDBC connection. If you are connecting via a datasource, you will still need to download and install the drivers manually.

    JTDS is now at v1.2.5 -- is there any reason to use 1.2.2 over 1.2.5 for JIRA's sake?

      Jira's project management software seems to be ineffective in managing Jira's own projects.  Documents are out of date and cumbersome.

    A word of warning to PostgreSQL users.    It is not clearly stated that using PostgreSQL version 9 with Confluence 3.5 (and other versions of Confluence as well) will cause the Plugin Manager to not work.  The solution is easy if you know about it but debilitating it you don't.  Here are the links to the solution:

    I'm wondering the same as above, Confluence 3.5.2 comes with jtds 1.2.2 but 1.2.5 is now available.

    Can I simply replace 1.2.2 with 1.2.5 as I am only using Confluence and use no JIRA installation?

    Is there any performance/usablity issues/improvements either way?
