Example: Connecting to the Database Instance 

The following examples show different options as to how you can connect the database instance to your Java application.

The following example data are used:

Description	Property	Example
Name of the database user	user	MONA
Password of the database user	password	RED
Name of database instance	-	DEMODB
Name of the computer on which the database instance is running	server	PARMA
SQL mode	sqlmode	ORACLE

Creating a Connection Using the java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection Method

You have the following options for transferring the connection options:

●     You transfer the connection options as part of the Connection URL.

The connection URL, url has the following content: "jdbc:sapdb://PARMA/DEMODB?sqlmode=ORACLE"

To connect to the database instance, call the getConnection method as follows:

java.sql.Connection conn = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(url, "MONA", "RED");

●     You transfer the connection options as well as the database user’s name and the password as part of the connection URL.

The connection URL, url has the following content:
"jdbc:sapdb://PARMA/DEMODB?sqlmode=ORACLE&user=MONA&password=RED"

To connect to the database instance, call the getConnection method as follows:

java.sql.Connection conn = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection (url);

●     The connection options, name and password of the database user are transferred in an object of the java.util.Properties class.

The connection URL, url has the following content:

"jdbc:sapdb://PARMA/DEMODB"

...

                            a.      You create an object of the class java.util.Properties:

java.util.Properties properties = new java.util.Properties ();

                            b.      You define the connection options:

properties.setProperty ("user", "MONA");

properties.setProperty ("password", "RED");

properties.setProperty ("sqlmode", "ORACLE");

                            c.      To connect to the database instance, call the getConnection method as follows:

java.sql.Connection conn = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection (url, properties);

You can find more information under java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection Method.
