Syntax

URL='<span>URL_address</span>' |
Default
None
Usage
The database URL is obtained from the database JDBC driver
documentation. A list of registered Driver classes, with their URLs,
is maintained by the driver’s JDBC DriverManager class.
When a connection request is made, the DriverManager attempts to
locate a suitable driver from those listed.
The URL uses this general format:
|
1 |
<span>jdbc</span>:<span>vendor</span>:<span>driverprotocol</span>:<span>servername</span>:<span>port/</span><span>database</span> |
