executeJDBC
Execute SQL Query on a JDBC-Compatible Database

### Description

Executes a SQL command on a JDBC-Compatible database.

### Usage

    executeJDBC(sqlQuery, driverClass, con, user, password, keepAlive)

### Arguments

sqlQuery | a string containing the SQL query to execute.
driverClass | a string containing the name of the Java class for required JDBC driver.
con | a string containing the JDBC connection string.
user | a string containing the user name with access to database.
password | a string containing the password for the given user name on the database.
keepAlive | a logical. If TRUE, keeps the database connection alive after executing the query. The default is FALSE.

### Details

Executes the command on the database using the JDBC driver specified in driverClass. The required JDBC driver must be loaded in sjdbc before it is used. See loadJDBCDriver for details.
Database connections are closed by default after executing the query, unless keepAlive is set to TRUE. If keepAlive = TRUE, the connection remains open, and successive database commands can reuse the open connection if and only if the same values for driverClass, con, user, and password are supplied.
Value
returns the number of rows affected, if applicable.
Note
Some arguments can also be set using sjdbcOptions.
