Connection URL Formats and Examples
This section provides a summary of connection URL formats and examples used by different JDBC drivers with the DriverManager class.
JDBC is recommending that the DataSource interface should be used to create database connection objects. But most Java applications are still using the DriverManager.getConnection() method to create connection objects. In order to use the DriverManager.getConnection() method, you need to provide a connection URL string that is recognized by the JDBC driver.
Different JDBC drivers requires different connection URL formats. A quick summary of various connection URL formats is provided here as a comparison and a reference:
Driver Name: Apache Derby Network Client JDBC Driver ------------ Driver JAR File: derbyclient.jar Connection URL Formats: jdbc:derby://host/database Connection URL Examples: jdbc:derby://localhost/TestDB Driver Name: JDBC-ODBC Bridge ------------ Driver JAR File: None (included in Java SE 1.6) Connection URL Formats: jdbc:odbc:DSN[;user=xxx][;password=xxx] Connection URL Examples: jdbc:odbc:HY_FLAT jdbc:odbc:HY_ACCESS jdbc:odbc:SQL_SERVER;user=sa;password=HerongYang Driver Name: MySQL Connector/J ------------ Driver JAR File: mysql-connector-java-8.0.27.jar Connection URL Formats: jdbc:mysql://[host][:port]/[database][?p1=v1]... Connection URL Examples: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/HerongDB?user=Herong&password=Secret jdbc:mysql://:3306/HerongDB?user=Herong&password=TopSecret jdbc:mysql://localhost/HerongDB?user=Herong&password=TopSecret jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/?user=Herong&password=TopSecret jdbc:mysql://localhost/?user=Herong&password=TopSecret jdbc:mysql://:3306/?user=Herong&password=TopSecret jdbc:mysql:///HerongDB?user=Herong&password=TopSecret jdbc:mysql:///?user=Herong&password=TopSecret Driver Name: Oracle JDBC Thin client-side driver ------------ Driver JAR File: ojdbc11.jar Connection URL Formats: jdbc:oracle:thin:[user/password]@[host][:port]:SID jdbc:oracle:thin:[user/password]@//[host][:port]/SID Connection URL Examples: jdbc:oracle:thin:Herong/TopSecret@localhost:1521:XE jdbc:oracle:thin:Herong/TopSecret@:1521:XE jdbc:oracle:thin:Herong/TopSecret@//localhost:1521/XE jdbc:oracle:thin:Herong/TopSecret@//:1521/XE jdbc:oracle:thin:Herong/TopSecret@//localhost/XE jdbc:oracle:thin:Herong/TopSecret@///XE Driver Name: Miscrosoft JDBC Driver ------------ Driver JAR File: mssql-jdbc-9.4.1.jre16.jar Connection URL Formats: jdbc:sqlserver://host[:port];user=xxx;password=xxx[;p=v] Connection URL Examples: jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;user=sa;password=Herong jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1269;user=sa;password=Herong jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;user=sa;password=Herong;database=myDB
