Function Creates a named connection to the given
database connection URL when ij starts up; it is equivalent
to the Connect AS Identifier command. The database connection URL can
be of the short form if an ij.protocol is
specified. This property can be specified more than once per session, creating
multiple connections. When ij starts, it displays the names
of all the connections created in this way. It also displays the name of the
current connection, if there is more than one, in the ij prompt.
Syntax ij.connection.connectionName=databaseConnectionURL When
specified on the command line the databaseConnectionURL should not
be enclosed in single quotations, however, if the database path contains special
characters (e.g. a space) it must be enclosed in double quotes.
Example
This example connects to the existing database sample and
creates, then connects to, the database anotherDB.
D:> java -Dij.connection.sample1=jdbc:derby:sample
-Dij.connection.anotherConn=jdbc:derby:anotherDB;create=true
org.apache.derby.tools.ij
ij version
ANOTHERCONN* - jdbc:derby:anotherDB;create=true
SAMPLE1 - jdbc:derby:sample
* = current connection
