Fields
The value of subname depends on the subprotocol specification; the subname value provides information to locate the database. For example, a full URL specification for an application accessing a local database named sample through the DB2 application JDBC driver is:
jdbc:db2:sample
Here, sample is the subprotocol value.
By comparison, a full URL specification for an applet using the Sybase jConnect driver to access a database named sample, on a remote server named myserv, through port number 88 on the internet is:
jdbc:sybase:Tds:myserver:88/sample
Here, the subprotocol value includes the database server name, port number, and database name.
prop=value;prop=value;...
where, prop is the name of the property, and value is the value of the property. In the following example, three properties are passed:
proxy=myserver:88;a=1;b=2
