JDBC URL Format

The standard syntax for JDBC URLs is:

jdbc:<subprotocol>:<subname> 

The variables in this syntax are as follows:

• subprotocol is the name of the driver or the name of a database connectivity mechanism.
• subname is a way to identify the data source.

The ActiveSpaces JDBC URL has been extended from the standard JDBC URL syntax to provide you the ability to specify the settings for connecting to an ActiveSpaces data grid. The ActiveSpaces JDBC URL format is as follows:

jdbc:tibco:tibdg[:<data-source-name>][;<propertyName>=<propertyValue>]*

The <data-source-name> is optional and specifies the data grid name. The data grid name can also be specified as a property as in the following example URL:

jdbc:tibco:tibdg;gridname=mygrid

If the data grid name is not specified as a property or as <data-source-name>, then _default is used, which is the default data grid name. For example:

jdbc:tibco:tibdg
