One way to connect to a database is through the JDBC Driver Manager using the DriverManager.getConnection() method. This method specifies a string containing a connection URL. This example shows how to establish a connection to an Oracle Service Cloud data source:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
 ("jdbc:datadirect:oracleservicecloud:loginHost=mysite.custhelp.com;
 User=test;Password=secret");
