Method Detail

deregisterDriver

public static void deregisterDriver(Driver driver)
                             throws SQLException

Removes a driver from the DriverManager's registered driver list. This will only succeed when the caller's class loader loaded the driver that is to be removed. If the driver was loaded by a different class loader, the removal of the driver fails silently.

If the removal succeeds, the DriverManager will not use this driver in the future when asked to get a Connection.

Parameters:

driver - the JDBC driver to remove.

Throws:

SQLException - if there is a problem interfering with accessing the database.

getConnection

public static Connection getConnection(String url)
                                throws SQLException

Attempts to establish a connection to the given database URL.

Parameters:

url - a URL string representing the database target to connect with.

Returns:

a Connection to the database identified by the URL. null if no connection can be established.

Throws:

SQLException - if there is an error while attempting to connect to the database identified by the URL.

Since:

Android 1.0

getConnection

public static Connection getConnection(String url,
                                       Properties info)
                                throws SQLException

Attempts to establish a connection to the given database URL.

Parameters:

url - a URL string representing the database target to connect with

info - a set of properties to use as arguments to set up the connection. Properties are arbitrary string/value pairs. Normally, at least the properties "user" and "password" should be passed, with appropriate settings for the user ID and its corresponding password to get access to the corresponding database.

Returns:

a Connection to the database identified by the URL. null if no connection can be established.

Throws:

SQLException - if there is an error while attempting to connect to the database identified by the URL.

getConnection

public static Connection getConnection(String url,
                                       String user,
                                       String password)
                                throws SQLException

Attempts to establish a connection to the given database URL.

Parameters:

url - a URL string representing the database target to connect with.

user - a user ID used to login to the database.

password - a password for the user ID to login to the database.

Returns:

a Connection to the database identified by the URL. null if no connection can be established.

Throws:

SQLException - if there is an error while attempting to connect to the database identified by the URL.

getDriver

public static Driver getDriver(String url)
                        throws SQLException

Tries to find a driver that can interpret the supplied URL.

Parameters:

url - the URL of a database.

Returns:

a Driver that matches the provided URL. null if no Driver understands the URL

Throws:

SQLException - if there is any kind of problem accessing the database.

Returns an Enumeration that contains all of the loaded JDBC drivers that the current caller can access.

Returns:

An Enumeration containing all the currently loaded JDBC Drivers.

Since:

Returns the login timeout when connecting to a database in seconds.

Returns:

the login timeout in seconds.

Since:

getLogStream

@Deprecated
public static PrintStream getLogStream()

Deprecated. use getLogWriter() instead.

Gets the log PrintStream used by the DriverManager and all the JDBC Drivers.

Returns:

the PrintStream used for logging activities.

Since:

Retrieves the log writer.

Returns:

A PrintWriter object used as the log writer. null if no log writer is set.

Since:
