ij.database

Function

Creates a connection with a generated name to the given database connection URL when ij starts up, thus creating an initial connection (with a generated name) for the ij session. (If you have specified an ij.protocol, you can use a shortened form of the URL.) After it boots, ij displays the generated name of the connection made with this property.

Syntax

ij.database=databaseConnectionURL

The databaseConnectionURL is not a string; do not enclose it in quotation marks.

Example

java -Dij.protocol=jdbc:derby: -Dij.connection.sample1=sample

ANOTHERCONN -   jdbc:derby:anotherDB
SAMPLE1 -        jdbc:derby:sample
