Apache Kafka JDBC Driver

Getting Started with Kafka JDBC Driver

Working with the new Apache Kafka JDBC Driver is easy. As a 100% pure Java JDBC Driver, the Apache Kafka Driver integrates seamlessly with popular IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ and NetBeans, as well as any Java/J2EE application.

Eclipse Integration - Data Explorer

As a JDBC Driver, Apache Kafka JDBC Driver can be used to access and explore Kafka data directly from the Data Source Explorers included in popular java IDEs.

Enterprise-Class Remoting

MySQL/SQL Database entry points for Apache Kafka Data

The CData JDBC drivers include powerful fully-integrated remoting capabilities that makes Apache Kafka data accessible from virtually anywhere. The drivers include the optional ability to accept incoming SQL and MySQL client connections and service standard database requests.

With the CData JDBC drivers, users can interact with Apache Kafka data from any client that supports SQL Server or MySQL: from web & mobile applications, to CRM and CMS systems, BI tools like SQL Server Analysis Services, and even through popular management applications like MySQL Workbench.

• Access Apache Kafka data from virtually any application that can access external data. Applications that can access SQL Server or MySQL data can now connect to Apache Kafka with this driver.
• Connect Apache Kafka data with popular BI tools like SQL Server Analysis Services.
• Enable enterprise Apache Kafka data integration through SQL Linked Server connectivity
• Includes support for the MySQL and SQL (TDS) remote access protocols - industry standards for remote database connectivity.
• Offers advanced wire-protocol SSL security for remote connectivity

Enterprise-class JDBC Connectivity

The Apache Kafka JDBC Driver offers the most natural way to access Kafka data from any Java/J2EE application. Simply use the Apache Kafka Driver to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. The driver is completely self-contained - no additional software installation is required!

Kafka Integration

The Apache Kafka Driver has the same JDBC architecture as the JDBC drivers for MySQL and OLEDB, including Connection, Statement and ResultSet objects. Because of this you can now access Kafka data in an easy, familiar way. You can use the Apache Kafka Driver through popular IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.), in code through familiar classes, and in data controls available through Swing, Eclipse SWT Widgets, etc.

For example:

Connection conn =
	DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:kafka:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;");

boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT * FROM Topics");
ResultSet rs=stat.getResultSet();
while(rs.next()){
  for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++)
  {
    System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) +"="+rs.getString(i));
  }
}

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

Apache Kafka Driver goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the Apache Kafka Driver as easily as interacting with a database table.

Connection conn =
	DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:kafka:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;");

String query = "UPDATE Topics SET Where= ...";

PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
pstmt.setString(1, "Location");
pstmt.setString(2, "UID");
pstmt.execute();
int count=pstmt.getUpdateCount();
