DataDirect Connect for JDBC User's Guide and ... - Stylus Studio

18 Chapter 1 Quick Start Connect
For example, to specify a connection URL for SQL Server that
includes the user ID and password:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:sqlserver://server1:1433;User=test;Password=secret");
NOTES:
■
■
The server_name is an IP address or a host name, assuming
that your network resolves host names to IP addresses. You
can test this by using the ping command to access the host
name and verifying that you receive a reply with the correct IP
address.
The numeric value after the server name is the port number
on which the database is listening. The values listed here are
sample defaults. You should determine the port number that
your database is using and substitute that value.
You can find the complete list of Connection URL parameters in
the section "Connection String Properties" in each driver chapter
of this book.
Testing the Connection
DataDirect Test is a pure Java software component developed by
DataDirect Technologies for JDBC testing. DataDirect Test is a
graphical, menu-driven program that allows developers to test
JDBC applications. It can also be used as a tool to help developers
learn the JDBC API. Its menu items either correspond to specific
JDBC functions (for example, connecting to a database or passing
a SQL statement) or encapsulate multiple JDBC function calls as a
shortcut to perform common tasks (for example, returning a
record result). DataDirect Test displays the results of all JDBC
function calls and provides fully-commented sample Java JDBC
code in the same window.
