The following is the database connection URL syntax for Java DB:
jdbc:derby:[subsubprotocol:][databaseName][;attribute=value]*
- subsubprotocolspecifies where Java DB should search for the database, either in a directory, in memory, in a class path, or in a JAR file. It is typically omitted.
- databaseNameis the name of the database to connect to.
- attribute=valuerepresents an optional, semicolon-separated list of attributes. These attributes enable you to instruct Java DB to perform various tasks, including the following:- Create the database specified in the connection URL.
- Encrypt the database specified in the connection URL.
- Specify directories to store logging and trace information.
- Specify a user name and password to connect to the database.
 
jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/testdb;create=true, where testdb is the name of the database to connect to, and create=true instructs the DBMS to create the database.
