Summary

The Neo4j JDBC driver version 6 has been released, offering improved performance, scalability, and compatibility with various platforms and tools in the Java ecosystem. The new driver is built on a dedicated version of Bolt, the Neo4j network protocol, and implements the JDBC spec proper. It provides features such as schema information extraction, pluggable SQL translation architecture, and good developer experience. The translator can handle complex queries, including multivalued inserts and joins, and supports configuration options for customization. The driver is tested against GraalVM in native image mode and is fully compatible with existing applications built on the common Java driver or Spring Data Neo4j. It should be used for new applications and integrations that require JDBC capabilities, especially those involving data movement platforms and ETL tools.
