Preconditions for supported Database Management Systems
The following preconditions have to be met to allow JobScheduler to work with a Database Management System (DBMS):
- JobScheduler database connections are made using JDBC and therefore a JDBC driver for that DBMS is required.
- Not all JDBC drivers are compatible with our Open Source License and cannot be provided with the JobScheduler distribution.
- Therefore users should download the respective JDBC drivers from the DBMS vendor web site.
- The JobScheduler installer provides a script for the DBMS that creates the required database objects, e.g. tables, indices.
- The JobScheduler has been tested to be compatible with the respective release of the DBMS.
DBMS Compatibility Matrix
History of JobScheduler Releases and DBMS Compatibility
The following terms are used in the matrix:
- Confirmed as compatible: SOS has performed successful tests with the respective DBMS version.
- Unconfirmed compatibility: we have knowledge of successful use with this DBMS version. However we did not test JobScheduler with this DBMS release.
- Recommended JDBC Driver: SOS has performed successful tests with the respective JDBC Driver. Other versions and other JDBC Drivers may work.
| DBMS | Versions confirmed as compatible with JobScheduler | Versions with unconfirmed compatibility | Recommended JDBC Driver Version | JDBC Driver provided with JobScheduler | Comments |

Explanations:
- The above report is the result of automated compatibility testing and is updated on a per JobScheduler release.
- At the time of General Availability for JobScheduler Release 1.12.9 no JDBC Driver product compatible with Java 12 is available.
- Do not use JDBC Drivers marked as incompatible (orange color).
- Use of JDBC Drivers with limited compatibility (yellow color) results in warnings that you will find in the JobScheduler log files.
