Driver class: expert.marketplace.sqlc.jira.cloud.Driver
Then configure a connection to the SQL Cloud database:
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
How does it work?
SQL Cloud is a 100% JavaScript database. Therefore a browser page is always required to run it.
As it is an app for Jira, a user must be logged in to Jira to view the page and connect to it.
This may look weird, but the JDBC Driver cares about this process automatically making all the actions on behalf of a user.
The SQL Cloud - Query Server page is displayed below:

The page displays the database connection status:

The limit to connect is 10 seconds. If the threshold is reached then 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 User can change it or create a new random one automatically whether it is saved blank.
