Instead of specifying attributes on the connection URL, you can
specify attributes as properties in a Properties object that you pass
as a second argument to the DriverManager.getConnection method.
For example, to set the user name and password:
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
Properties p = new Properties();
p.setProperty("user", "sa");
p.setProperty("password", "manager");
p.setProperty("create", "true");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:derby:mynewDB", p);
If you are running on JDK 6 or higher, you do not normally need to invoke
Class.forName(). In that environment, the
EmbeddedDriver loads automatically. The only exception to this
rule is when you need to shut down
Derby in the middle of your
application and then restart it. To restart
Derby, create a new instance
of the driver as follows:
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver").newInstance();
