Step 2: Open a connection to a databaseYou open a connection to the database with the static getConnection()method of the JDBC DriverManager class. This method returns an object ofthe JDBC Connection class which needs as input a userid, password, connectstring that identifies the JDBC driver to use, and the name of the database towhich you want to connect.Connecting to a database is a step where you must enter Cincom ORDB JDBCdriver-specific information in the getConnection() method.Understanding the forms of getConnection()♦♦Specifying a database URL, user id, and password:DriverManager.getConnection(String URL, String user, Stringpassword);where the URL is in the form of:jdbc:cincomordb:The following example connects user foo with password bar to a databasenamed testdb:Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:cincomordb:testdb", "foo", "bar");Specifying a database URL and Properties objectDriverManager.getConnection(String URL, Properties info);where the URL is in the form of:jdbc:cincomordb:In addition to the URL, use an object of the standard Java Propertiesclass as input. For example:java.util.Properties info = new java.util.Properties();info.put ("user", "foo");info.put ("password","bar");Connection conn =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:cincomordb:testdb",info);Step 3: Create a Statement objectOnce you connect to the database by creating your Connection object, thenext step is to create a Statement object. The createStatement()method of your JDBC Connection object returns an object of the JDBCStatement class. Continuing the example from the previous section where wecreated the Connection object conn, now we will create the Statementobject:Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();JDBC Developer's Guide, P25-9504-03 Page 21Chapter: 3.
