How to resolve Failed to get driver instance for jdbcurl jdbc mysql error?

Typically, error looks as shown below:

Failed to get driver instance for jdbcUrl=jdbc:postgresql:///mdm

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver\

Today, let us see the steps followed by our Support Techs to resolve it:

1.Firstly, check if driver is available in server and the server can establish connection to the database

2.Then, make sure you’re configuring your JDBC URL correctly.

Creating the JDBC URL :

Base JDBC URL: jdbc:postgresql:///<DATABASE_NAME>

When specifying the JDBC connection URL, add the additional parameters:

The full JDBC URL should look like this:

jdbc:postgresql:///<DATABASE_NAME>?cloudSqlInstance=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>&socketFactory=com.google.cloud.sql.postgres.SocketFactory&user=<POSTGRESQL_USER_NAME>&password=<POSTGRESQL_USER_PASSWORD>

Note: The host portion of the JDBC URL is currently unused, and has no effect on the connection process.

The SocketFactory will get your instances IP address based on the provided cloudSqlInstance arg.

3.If your Cloud SQL instance is Private IP only, your local machine won’t have a network path to it, unless you’ve explicitly configured one.

Generally, the simplest way to connect to a private IP instance is to run a VM in the same VPC as the instance, and connect from that VM.

4. Sometimes the Java Driver Manager does not correctly load JDBC drivers that a pipeline requires if there are multiple JDBC drivers available.

Here are two possible resolutions to fix this issue:

• Firstly, specify / add the class name for the driver in the JDBC Class Driver Name property on the Legacy Drivers tab for the stage.
• Secondly, configure Data Collector to automatically load specific drivers.

In the Data Collector configuration file, uncomment the stage.conf_com.streamsets.pipeline.stage.jdbc.drivers.load property and set to a comma-separated list of the JDBC drivers required by stages in your pipelines.
