# Gatling-JDBC on Maven Central

Some time ago I wrote [a blog post](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2017/07/gatling-load-testing-part-2-extending-gatling/) on the codecentric blog about how to extend Gatling. As accompanying code example I created a small library on GitHub: [Gatling-JDBC](https://github.com/codecentric/gatling-jdbc)  
  
Finally, after keeping the library untouched for several months, I performed the necessary steps to publish it on [Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cde.codecentric%7Cgatling-jdbc_2.12%7C1.0.0%7Cjar)! This means you can now use de.codecentric.gatling-jdbc version 1.0.0 in your Gatling load tests. I upgraded its dependencies so that is compatible with the latest Gatling version 2.3.1.  
  
Its usage is described in the blog post or you can take a look at the different simulations [in the test directory](https://github.com/codecentric/gatling-jdbc/tree/master/src/test/scala/de/codecentric/gatling/jdbc). If you encounter any problems or would like to suggest any improvements feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
