Once the driver is installed and configured, you can connect from your application to your database in either of the following ways:
  • Using the JDBC Driver Manager, by specifying the connection URL in the DriverManager.getConnection() method.
  • Creating a JDBC data source that can be accessed through the Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI).
Note: For details on connecting through a proxy server, see Connecting Through a Proxy Server and Proxy Server Properties.
