When using the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver with YugabyteDB, remember to use YugabyteDB’s default port of 5433 (instead of PostgreSQL’s default of 5432) and use the default YugabyteDB user yugabyte instead of the PostgreSQL default user (postgres).

You can get started by using our tutorials on popular third party tools that use the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver to develop and manage YugabyteDB databases.
