ij.database

Function

Creates a connection with a generated name to the given database connection URL when ij starts up, thus creating an initial connection (with a generated name) for the ij session. (If you have specified an ij.protocol, you can use a shortened form of the URL.) After it boots, ij displays the generated name of the connection made with this property.

Syntax

ij.database=databaseConnectionURL

The databaseConnectionURL is not a string; do not enclose it in quotation marks.

Synonyms

In releases prior to 1.5, this property was called database. The database property is still supported and is a synonym.
