Database Drivers Installation

Upcoming change: Driver installation required as of version releasing June 16, 2025

Administer Jira permissions are required to install database drivers.

Starting from June 16, 2025, the new version of SQL Connector for Jira will no longer include database drivers by default. Instead, users will need to install the necessary drivers manually.

What’s Changing?

Until now, database drivers were bundled with the SQL Connector. Moving forward, drivers will be installed separately by users.

Why This Change?

  • Gives you more control over driver versions.

  • Allows you to choose drivers that meet your organization’s security and compliance standards.

What to Expect?

  • If a required driver is missing, the related data sources will be highlighted in red.

  • Until the driver is installed, those data sources will not be available for use.
