acceptsURL
public boolean acceptsURL(String url)
throws SQLException
Returns true if the driver thinks that it can open a connection
to the given URL. Typically drivers will return true if they
understand the subprotocol specified in the URL and false if
they don't.
url
- the URL of the database
- true if this driver can connect to the given URL
connect
public Connection connect(String url,
Properties originalInfo)
throws SQLException
Attempts to make a database connection to the given URL.
The driver should return "null" if it realizes it is the wrong kind
of driver to connect to the given URL. This will be common, as when
the JDBC driver manager is asked to connect to a given URL it passes
the URL to each loaded driver in turn.
The driver should raise a SQLException if it is the right
driver to connect to the given URL, but has trouble connecting to
the database.
The java.util.Properties argument can be used to passed arbitrary
string tag/value pairs as connection arguments.
Normally at least "user" and "password" properties should be
included in the Properties.
url
- the URL of the database to which to connectoriginalInfo
- a list of arbitrary string tag/value pairs as
connection arguments. Normally at least a "user" and
"password" property should be included.
- a
Connection
object that represents a
connection to the URL
getMajorVersion
public int getMajorVersion()
Gets the driver's major version number. Initially this should be 1.
- this driver's major version number
getMinorVersion
public int getMinorVersion()
Gets the driver's minor version number. Initially this should be 0.
- this driver's minor version number
getPropertyInfo
public DriverPropertyInfo[] getPropertyInfo(String url,
Properties info)
throws SQLException
Gets information about the possible properties for this driver.
The getPropertyInfo method is intended to allow a generic GUI tool to
discover what properties it should prompt a human for in order to get
enough information to connect to a database. Note that depending on
the values the human has supplied so far, additional values may become
necessary, so it may be necessary to iterate though several calls
to getPropertyInfo.
url
- the URL of the database to which to connectinfo
- a proposed list of tag/value pairs that will be sent on
connect open
- an array of DriverPropertyInfo objects describing possible
properties. This array may be an empty array if no properties
are required.
jdbcCompliant
public boolean jdbcCompliant()
Reports whether this driver is a genuine JDBC
COMPLIANTTM driver.
A driver may only report true here if it passes the JDBC compliance
tests; otherwise it is required to return false.
JDBC compliance requires full support for the JDBC API and full support
for SQL 92 Entry Level. It is expected that JDBC compliant drivers will
be available for all the major commercial databases.
This method is not intended to encourage the development of non-JDBC
compliant drivers, but is a recognition of the fact that some vendors
are interested in using the JDBC API and framework for lightweight
databases that do not support full database functionality, or for
special databases such as document information retrieval where a SQL
implementation may not be feasible.
