Download the .jar library
JDBC connect string
URL: jdbc:jira-cloud:<port> (a random 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?
Download the driver library above and install it on your favorited Java client tool.
Configure the JDBC connection string
The port parameter is any random TCP/IP port number available from your PC
The username is the name of your Jira instance (see the picture below)
Connect to the database. A new browser page will be opened to start up a SQL Cloud database instance (see the picture below)
First time, your login will failed as the password is not known yet. It is available from the SQL Cloud - Query Server page. Click on the Show password link to see and/or change it.
Open a JDBC connection: this will open a specific page from Jira.
