e237. Connecting to a SQLServer Database

This example connects to a SQLServer database using the NetDirect JDBC driver. For information about this driver, see e232 Getting JDBC Drivers for a Database.
    Connection connection = null;
    try {
        String driverName = "com.jnetdirect.jsql.JSQLDriver"; // NetDirect JDBC driver
        String serverName = "127.0.0.1";
        String portNumber = "1433";
        String mydatabase = serverName + ":" + portNumber;
        String url = "jdbc:JSQLConnect://" + mydatabase; // a JDBC url
        String username = "username";
        String password = "password";
    
        // Load the JDBC driver
        Class.forName(driverName);
    
        // Create a connection to the database
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        // Could not find the database driver
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        // Could not connect to the database
    }
