public abstract DriverPropertyInfo[] getPropertyInfo( String url,
Properties info ) throws SQLException
Parameters
- url
- The URL of the database to connect to.
- info
- A proposed list of tag/value pairs that will be sent on
connect open.
Returns
An array of DriverPropertyInfo objects describing possible
properties. This array may be an empty array if no properties
are required.
Description
The getPropertyInfo method is intended to allow a generic GUI tool to
discover what properties it should prompt a human for in order to get
enough information to connect to a database. Note that depending on
the values the human has supplied so far, additional values may become
necessary, so it may be necessary to iterate though several calls
to getPropertyInfo.
Exceptions
SQLException
if a database-access error occurs.
