One way to connect to a service is through the JDBC DriverManager using the DriverManager.getConnection() method. As the following example shows, this method specifies a string containing a connection URL.

User ID/password authentication

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
  ("jdbc:datadirect:postgresql://server1:5432;
    User=test;Password=secret;");
Note: The User and Password properties are not required to be stored in the connection string. They can also be passed separately by the application.
