MonetDB/e Java

The following description of MonetDB/e Java is brief. You can find more information in the GitHub repository and the documentation page.

After the release of MonetDB/e Python, which brought the power of MonetDB data analytics to the world of Python embedded databases, we set out to expand its reach to the Java environment. Our goal is to provide a lightweight, full-featured embedded database that harnesses the performance of MonetDB's columnar analytics while keeping the familiar JDBC interface. The power of a full-fledged database server at your fingertips as an embeddable library.

The driver has been developed and tested for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Installation

There are several ways for you to get MonetDB/e Java on your system:

• download the jar from this page
• build the driver yourself (instructions on Github)
• install it through maven (instructions on Github)

C Libraries (JNI)

MonetDB/e Java uses the MonetDBe C library through JNI, which means that it uses libraries which are OS-specific.

Our goal is to provide a lightweight driver, so you can find different version for Linux, Mac and Windows. You can also find a cross-platform driver, which works for all three supported OS.

In this page, you can also find different versions of the Linux and Mac versions:

• if you want a lighter driver, the slim jar is your choice, as it only features the MonetDB libraries.

  This means that you'll have to have the MonetDB dependencies installed in your system (you can find them below)

• if you want a portable version with every dependency, the fat jar is your best bet

The Windows version features all the dependencies.

Dependencies for the Slim Jar (Mac)

libpcre, libz, libxml2, libiconv, liblz4, liblzma, libcurl, libbz2

Dependencies for the slim jar (Linux)
