I am software architect for a BI / Visualization software company. One of our clients already makes use of InfluxDB, and wishes to bring it into their visualization stack. I am looking to provide them a LOE for this development. We’ve abstracted our architecture to easily plug in with most JDBC driver, and I noticed that there is a CLI only SQL-like query capability. Is there any chance of a JDBC driver in the works for the near future? Other than the CLI are the only other 2 ways to query through the Java SDK and the REST API (below)? - [GitHub - influxdata/influxdb-java: Java client for InfluxDB](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-java) - [InfluxDB API reference | InfluxDB OSS 1.4 Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.4/tools/api/#query) Thanks for any information. ---

Hi! Right now, the best way to interface with InfluxDB in Java is to use the REST API or the Java client. We don’t currently have plans to expand those offerings. ---

Thanks! Just wanted to be sure before I began development for them! ---

Yeah, still the API and client lib for Java. 👍 ---

How about now, is it still up to date? ---

Hello @Plex1glas, Welcome! What version of InfluxDB are you using? This will be available soon(ish) with the new storage engine. > **[Understanding InfluxDB IOx and the Commitment to Open Source | InfluxData](https://www.influxdata.com/blog/understanding-influxdb-iox-commitment-open-source/)** > > I wanted to learn more about how the open source components of the new engine help achieve the requirements for the new #InfluxDB engine and why they were chosen. This post covers that precise topic. Which will utilize FlightSQL. The Apache Foundation hosts a JDBC to FlightSQL driver. This driver should support any database that supports FlightSQL, and therefore, any tool that supports JDBC should be supported by extension.
