Is there any plans to create JDBC driver?

[tjlee]

It would help to work with InfluxDB more easily.

Hi @tjlee

I was thinking on creating a jdbc layer on top, but discarded because of no need.
I think it would be best to use influxdb-java to create a influxdb-jdbc driver

It would be helpful to access to db via 3rd party tools to see data.

having a JDBC driver for InfluxDB would be beneficial I think. In the moment I am exploring how/if Liquibase can be used with InfluxDB (I want to manage continuous queries and stuff via Liquibase). As it seems, this is impossible due to the unavailability of a JDBC driver.

... however, maybe using Liquibase together with influxDB is generally a stupid idea?

I had the "issue". I work on a project that uses DBeaver as sql management but are CE (community) not EE (enterprise) and 'cause of this we can't connect. I just found only in enterprise.

this would be also interesting for JetBrains implementation, see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/DBE-5158

It would be interesting to hear what the holdback is regarding the JDBC driver. We are currently using InfluxDB and have to move to TimescaleDB because of a need to connect via JDBC :-( sad story....

It looks like there is one on the market https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.apache.arrow/flight-sql-jdbc-driver/ . But I'm struggling with connection...

According to my test results at https://github.com/linghengqian/influxdb-3-core-jdbc-test , influxdb 3 core works perfectly with apache arrow flight sql jdbc driver. The only drawback is that influxdb 3 core stores vectors without timezone, see apache/arrow-java#464 and influxdata/influxdb#26581 .

@linghengqian, that's the great news. We'll try it out.

@linghengqian , I've run some internal tests and face an issue.

I can't open some tables and retrieve column names due to the exception:

Please open this issue at the repo of the jdbc driver, this is not related to this repo.
