<!--/codeinclude-->See Database containers for documentation and usage that is common to all relational database container types.
jdbc:tc:tidb:v6.1.0:///databasename
See JDBC for documentation.
Add the following dependency to your pom.xml/build.gradle file:
=== "Gradle"
groovy testImplementation "org.testcontainers:testcontainers-tidb:{{latest_version}}"
=== "Maven"
xml <dependency> <groupId>org.testcontainers</groupId> <artifactId>testcontainers-tidb</artifactId> <version>{{latest_version}}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>
