Where can I find H2 JDBC driver?
Solution 1
Dump this in your classpath: http://www.h2database.com/automated/h2-latest.jar
And then call
Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");
That should do it.
Solution 2
Go to the downloads page of the H2 website as you did. Download the INSTALLATION file for H2 and install it. Then, go to the folder where you installed it. The path to that folder (on a windows pc) should be C:\Program Files (x86)\H2\bin There will be a jar file there which looks like h2-some version number.jar. That is your driver. Bin means binary and that is usually the place where i look for any jar file.
Solution 3
Any downloaded .jar
file in the Jar File
section on Downloads
page is the JDBC driver itself, e.g.: h2-1.4.188.jar
Solution 4
I'm saddened that people still recommended (even 6 years ago) direct jar usage, instead of promoting maven/gradle/whatever build automation tool. From the downloads page maven section you can get maven URL for direct download, and translate it to your build tool's format. Below is its maven interpretation:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<version>1.4.200</version>
</dependency>

http://www.h2database.com/html/download.html I don't see it on this website. Is there anything I missed?

Flup about 11 yearsThe questioner said he couldn't find the driver on the downloads page.

sky scraper about 11 years@Flup - You may have overlooked the fact that my answer guides the OP to the downloads page and then gets him the jar also. If you do what my answer says, then you will get the latest version of the file that slotishtype gave in his link. I actually checked the two files.

Flup about 11 yearsYou've edited your post since I downvoted it which has made it much more helpful, so I'll remove my downvote -- thanks :)

industry7 over 7 yearsThis is a great answer. None of the other answers actually mention the "Jar File" section of the downloads page, nor do they explain that the files in that section are in fact the drivers the OP is looking for.

Markus Pscheidt over 2 years@Toto Of course I upvoted that. The link to the file may be useful, however. That includes both the option to get the jar file as well as getting the Maven/Gradle/... coordinates
