What You Need to Know About SAS Connections

In most cases, the SAS Drivers for JDBC can be used to perform tasks as described in the JDBC specification, with the only difference being the connection information. You use the connection properties in order to control the behavior of a SAS driver for JDBC.
After the connection is made, most of the JDBC code will be the same from driver to driver (assuming that the servers support the desired functionality). This chapter contains the following connection information that is specific to the SAS drivers.
  • the class names for each driver
  • a list of connection properties for each driver
  • how to use the JDBC URL when making connections, including sample code
