A Derby database connection URL consists of the basic database connection URL followed by an optional subsubprotocol and optional attributes.
The following section provides reference information on the connection URL syntax for applications with embedded databases. For information on the connection URL syntax for accessing the Network Server, see "Accessing the Network Server by using the network client driver" in the Derby Server and Administration Guide. For more conceptual information, including examples, see "Connecting to databases" in the Derby Developer's Guide.
