Database URLs
Ideally the syntax of the URL would follow the normal conventions for Internet URLs:
protocol // host : port / name
- protocol will be a sub-protocol of jdbc:, e.g.
jdbc:oracle:thin:
- host and port are self-explanatory.
- name is the name of the database on the host.
Oracle JDBC URLs follow this general pattern, but they use different separators.
- @ and : in place of // and /.
