This page provides the download links for the JDBC drivers for all supported databases. 

Due to licensing constraints, we are not able to bundle MySQL or Oracle database drivers with Confluence, so you will need to manually download and install the driver listed below before you can set up Confluence. 

If you use PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server, the drivers are bundled with Confluence, so you're ready to. 

Adding your database driver (MySQL and Oracle)

The Confluence setup wizard will stop you at the Database configuration step if it can't find an appropriate driver for the database you select.   

To make your database driver available to Confluence:

  1. Stop Confluence.
  2. Download and extract the appropriate driver from the list below.
  3. Drop the .jar file in your <installation-directory>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib directory.
  4. Restart Confluence then go to http://localhost:<port> in your browser to continue the setup process.

The setup wizard will return to the database configuration step, and you're back on your way.

If you attempt to use an unsupported or custom JDBC driver (or a driverClassName from an unsupported or custom driver in your JINDI datasource connection) collaborative editing will fail. You must use a supported driver.
