You can use connection properties to customize the driver for your environment. This section organizes connection properties according to functionality. You can use connection properties with either the JDBC DriverManager or a JDBC DataSource. For a DriverManager connection, a property is expressed as a key value pair and takes the form property=value. For a DataSource connection, a property is expressed as a JDBC method and takes the form setproperty(value). Connection property names are case-insensitive. For example, Password is the same as password.

Note: In a JDBC data source, string values must be enclosed in double quotation marks, for example, setCompany("ABCCorp").

See Connection property descriptions for an alphabetical list of connection properties and their descriptions.
