Then configure a connection to the SQL Cloud database with the following configuration:
Driver class: expert.marketplace.sqlc.jira.cloud.Driver
URL: jdbc:jira-cloud:<port> (any available local port)
Username: Must match the name of the Jira instance (https:<instance>.atlassian.net)
Password: Must match the password on SQL Cloud - Query Server page (https://<instance>.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/ac/expert.marketplace.jira.cloud.sql/sqlc-server)
Prerequisites
Minimum Java version 1.8
For Java +17 these JVM parameters must be added to the command line:
--add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/java.math=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/java.util.concurrent=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED
How it works
SQL Cloud is a 100% JavaScript database. Therefore a browser page is always required to run the it.
As it is a app for Jira then the user must be logged in Jira to view that page and connect to.
This may look weird, but the JDBC Driver cares about this process automatically making all the actions on behalf the user.
The SQL Cloud - Query Server page is displayed below:
...
The page displays the database connection status:
...
The limit to connect is 10 seconds. After that threshold a timeout exception will be raised.
The database username is the Jira instance name (same as in the URL).
The database password can be read from that page (click on the Edit password link). Initially a random password is created, but the user can change it or create a new random one automatically whether it is blank saved.
