The format for the database connection URL for connecting to a database is:

jdbc:derby:databaseName;URLAttributes

where:

• databaseName

  The name of the database that you want to connect to

• URLAttributes

  One or more of the supported attributes of the database connection URL, such as ;territory=ll_CC or ;create=true.

  For more information, see the Derby Developer's Guide.

For the network client driver that is provided by Derby, the format for the database connection URL for connecting to a database is this:

jdbc:derby://server[:port]/databaseName[;URLAttributes=value[;...]]

where the server and port specify the host name (or IP address) and port number where the server is listening for requests and databaseName is the name of the database you want to connect to. The URLAttributes can be either Derby embedded or network client attributes. See the Derby Server and Administration Guide for more information on accessing the Network Server by using the network client.
