1.8. Driver Connection URL Format
URLs used when establishing a connection using the driver class have the following format:
jdbc:teiid:VDB-NAME@mm[s]://HOSTNAME:PORT;[prop-name=prop-value;]*
Given this format, the following table describes the variable parts of the URL:
Table 1.1. URL Entities
| Variable Name | Description |
|---|---|
| VDB-NAME | The name of the virtual database (VDB) to which the application is connected.
Important
VDB names can contain version information; for example, myvdb.2. If such a name is used in the URL, this has the same effect as supplying a version=2 connection property. Note that if the VDB name contains version information, you cannot also use the version property in the same request.
|
| mm[s] | The JBoss Data Virtualization JDBC protocol. mm is the default for normal connections. mms uses SSL for encryption and is the default for the AdminAPI tools. |
| HOSTNAME | The server where JBoss Data Virtualization is installed. |
| PORT | The port on which JBoss Data Virtualization is listening for incoming JDBC connections. |
| [prop-name=prop-value] | Any number of additional name-value pairs can be supplied in the URL, separated by semi-colons. Property values must be URL encoded if they contain reserved characters, for example, ?, =, and ;. |
