3. Passing the Connection URL
After registering the drivers, pass the connection information in the form of a connection URL. This example establishes a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server database and includes user ID and password information for the connection:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:sqlserver://server1:1433;User=test;Password=secret");
The following sections provide URL formats that you can use as templates to create your own connection URLs, substituting the appropriate values for your database:
* URL Formats: DataDirect Connect for JDBC Drivers
* URL Formats: DataDirect Connect XE for JDBC Drivers
