JDBC architecture

Jira JDBC Connectivity Features

  • Full access to both system and custom fields as columns
  • Use native JQL (JIRA Query Language) when working with the Issues table
  • 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 Atlassian Jira data, for real-time data access with the Atlassian Jira ADO.NET Provider
  • 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 Jira Connector.
