Connections Strings
Connection strings should start with ddbc: followed by the driver type, eg: ddbc:mysql://localhost. However, the ddbc prefix is optional.
The overall format is typically [ddbc:]<DRIVER:>//[ HOSTNAME [ ,PORT ]] [ ? <PARAMS> }] except for SQLite
SQLite
SQLite can be configured for file based persistence or in-memory storage.
ddbc:sqlite:ddbc-test.sqlite
An in memory database can be configured by specifying :memory: instead of a filename:
ddbc:sqlite::memory:
MySQL
ddbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306
PostgreSQL
ddbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432
or
ddbc:postgresql://hostname:5432/dbname
Microsoft SQL Server (via ODBC)
ddbc:sqlserver://localhost,1433?user=sa,password=bbk4k77JKH88g54,driver=FreeTDS
or
ddbc:odbc://localhost,1433?user=sa,password=bbk4k77JKH88g54,driver=FreeTDS
Oracle (via ODBC) experimental
ddbc:oracle://localhost:1521?user=sa,password=bbk4k77JKH88g54,driver=FreeTDS
or
ddbc:odbc://localhost:1521?user=sa,password=bbk4k77JKH88g54,driver=FreeTDS
DSN connections for Microsoft SQL Server
The correct format to use for a dsn connection string is odbc://?dsn=<DSN name>.
Note that the server portion before the ? is empty, so the default server for
the DSN name will be used.
