SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

BoxLang users need a clean way to select and install the correct JDBC driver modules for different databases. This skill consolidates per-database drivers (bx-derby, bx-hypersql, bx-mysql, bx-mariadb, bx-mssql, bx-oracle, bx-postgresql, bx-sqlite) and provides explicit install commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-database JDBC driver modules: one module per vendor enabling targeted dependencies and isolation.
  • Install commands: use install-bx-module bx-<module> to add the required driver to your BoxLang project.
  • Datasource guidance: configure a datasource after installing the driver using boxlang.json examples to connect to your database.

Quick Start

Install only the needed driver module, for example install-bx-module bx-postgresql.
