The FHIR JDBC Driver enables users to connect with live FHIR data, directly from any applications that support JDBC connectivity. Rapidly create and deploy powerful Java applications that integrate with FHIR.

JDBC architecture

FHIR JDBC Connectivity Features

  • SQL access to FHIR data
  • Fully compatible with generic, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform implementations
  • Powerful metadata querying enables SQL-like access to non-database sources
  • Push down query optimization pushes SQL operations down to the server whenever possible, increasing performance
  • Client-side query execution engine, supports SQL-92 operations that are not available server-side
  • Connect to live FHIR data, for real-time data access with the FHIR JDBC Driver
  • Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
  • Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
  • Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the FHIR Connector.

AI-assisted development with CData CLI

Build FHIR integrations faster with AI that understands your schema

Schema-aware AI

CData CLI gives AI coding tools access to your FHIR schema. No more guessing table names or column types—AI sees the same metadata in your JDBC Drivers.

Your AI knows SQL

How to find table names, column names, and how to generate SQL syntax are things that AI knows well from millions of training data. No need for customization, no hallucinations. Your AI acts like a domain specialist to FHIR.

More accurate, more token-efficient

With CData CLI's queryable schema detection and highly efficient queries with filters, aggregation, joins with correct pushdown, your AI will achieve more accuracy with less token usage.
