Class org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver

public class Driver

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.sql.Driver

Constructor Summary

Driver()
Construct a new driver and register it with DriverManager

Method Summary

boolean	acceptsURL(java.lang.String Url) Returns true if the driver thinks it can open a connection to the given URL. Typically, drivers will return true if they understand the subprotocol specified in the URL and false if they don't.
java.sql.Connection	connect(java.lang.String Url, java.util.Properties Info) 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 driverManager is asked to connect to a given URL, it passes the URL to each loaded driver in turn.
java.lang.String	database()
int	getMajorVersion() Gets the drivers major version number
int	getMinorVersion() Get the drivers minor version number
java.sql.DriverPropertyInfo[]	getPropertyInfo(java.lang.String Url, java.util.Properties Info) 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.
java.lang.String	host()
boolean	jdbcCompliant() Report whether the driver is a genuine JDBC compliant driver.
int	port()
java.lang.String	property(java.lang.String Name)

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException -

Method Detail

connect

public java.sql.Connection connect(java.lang.String Url,
                          java.util.Properties Info)
                           throws java.sql.SQLException

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 driverManager is asked to connect to a given URL, it passes the URL to each loaded driver in turn.

The driver should raise an 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 pass arbitrary string tag/value pairs as connection arguments. My protocol takes the form:

    jdbc:mysql://host:port/database
 

Specified by:

connect(java.lang.String, java.util.Properties) in interface java.sql.Driver

Parameters:

url - the URL of the database to connect to

info - a list of arbitrary tag/value pairs as connection arguments

Returns:

a connection to the URL or null if it isnt us

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

See Also:

connect

acceptsURL

public boolean acceptsURL(java.lang.String Url)
                  throws java.sql.SQLException

Returns true if the driver thinks it can open a connection to the given URL. Typically, drivers will return true if they understand the subprotocol specified in the URL and false if they don't. This driver's protocols start with jdbc:mysql:

Specified by:

acceptsURL(java.lang.String) in interface java.sql.Driver

Parameters:

url - the URL of the driver

Returns:

true if this driver accepts the given URL

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - if a database-access error occurs

See Also:

acceptsURL

getPropertyInfo

public java.sql.DriverPropertyInfo[] getPropertyInfo(java.lang.String Url,
                                            java.util.Properties Info)
                                             throws java.sql.SQLException

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 through several calls to getPropertyInfo

Specified by:

getPropertyInfo(java.lang.String, java.util.Properties) in interface java.sql.Driver

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

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - if a database-access error occurs

See Also:

getPropertyInfo

getMajorVersion

public int getMajorVersion()

Gets the drivers major version number

Specified by:

getMajorVersion() in interface java.sql.Driver

Returns:

the drivers major version number

getMinorVersion

public int getMinorVersion()

Get the drivers minor version number

Specified by:

getMinorVersion() in interface java.sql.Driver

Returns:

the drivers minor version number

jdbcCompliant

public boolean jdbcCompliant()

Report whether the driver is a genuine JDBC compliant driver. A driver may only report "true" here if it passes the JDBC compliance tests, otherwise it is required to return false. JDBC compliance requires full support for the JDBC API and full support for SQL 92 Entry Level.

MySQL is not SQL92 compliant

Specified by:

jdbcCompliant() in interface java.sql.Driver

host

public java.lang.String host()

port

public int port()

database

public java.lang.String database()

property

public java.lang.String property(java.lang.String Name)
