Driver Archive Interface
Starting with driver version 4.3.0, the driver Java archive, iijdbc.jar, supports an executable interface with features similar to the JDBC Information Utility. The driver archive interface can be executed with either of the following command lines:
java –jar iijdbc.jar [options]
java com.ingres.jdbc.IngresMain [options]
The driver archive supports the same operations as JdbcInfo when executed with no arguments, a URL, or host/ port pair. In addition, the driver archive provides options for displaying driver configuration properties:
java com.ingres.jdbc.IngresMain –p
Outputs the driver configuration properties loaded by the driver.
java com.ingres.jdbc.IngresMain –P
Outputs system properties and the driver configuration properties loaded by the driver.
Note:  When executing the driver archive using the –jar java option, the normal CLASSPATH logical is not used. This results in the driver not being able to load the default driver property file. Be sure to execute the driver using the IngresMain class when using the property display options.
