38.3.1. Configuring a DataSource
Copy link

This extension leverages Quarkus Agroal for DataSource support. Setting up a DataSource can be achieved via configuration properties. It is recommended that you explicitly name the datasource so that it can be referenced in the JDBC endpoint URI. E.g like to("jdbc:camel"). 

quarkus.datasource.camel.db-kind=postgresql
quarkus.datasource.camel.username=your-username
quarkus.datasource.camel.password=your-password
quarkus.datasource.camel.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/your-database
quarkus.datasource.camel.jdbc.max-size=16
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

If you choose to not name the datasource, you can resolve the default DataSource by defining your endpoint like to("jdbc:default").

In dev and test mode you can take advantage of Configuration Free Databases. All you need to do is reference the default database in your routes. E.g to("jdbc:default").
