JDBC Information Utility--Load the JDBC Driver
The JDBC Information Utility, JdbcInfo, loads the JDBC driver and displays its internal release information.
The class files for the JdbcInfo utility are located in the library directory (lib) of the Vector instance. You must set your CLASSPATH environment (see Set CLASSPATH Environment) before using the JdbcInfo utility.
You can invoke the JdbcInfo utility from the command line with the following parameters:
java JdbcInfo
Displays the internal driver release of the JDBC Driver.
java JdbcInfo url
Attempts to establish a JDBC connection to the target database using the specified URL. For information on formatting the URL, see DriverManager.getConnection() Method--Establish JDBC Driver Connection. If successful, it displays the JDBC Driver name and release that serviced the URL connection.
java JdbcInfo host port
Attempts to establish a low-level connection to the Data Access Server associated with host port. If successful, it displays the internal driver release of the JDBC Driver.
The utility also supports ‑h (help) parameter to display the command line options.
