Description
Try to make a database connection to the given URL.
The driver should return "null" if it realizes it is the wrong kind
of driver to connect to the given URL. This will be common, as when
the JDBC driver manager is asked to connect to a given URL it passes
the URL to each loaded driver in turn.
The driver should raise a SQLException if it is the right
driver to connect to the given URL, but has trouble connecting to
the database.
The java.util.Properties argument can be used to passed arbitrary
string tag/value pairs as connection arguments.
Normally at least "user" and "password" properties should be
included in the Properties.
Exceptions
SQLException
if a database-access error occurs.
