Connection Properties

This topic provides an overview of setting up a Properties File for database connections.

You can setup a database Connection Properties File (or a resource bundle file) with configuration data in the form of key value pairs that is used to establish a connection using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity). You can also use the connection properties file to customize the driver for a database environment. To create a new properties file, access the Properties tab on the DB Navigator - Settings > Connections window and click the Add icon in the Connection properties section.

When you use the properties file for a Driver Manager, the property is defined as a key-value pair with the syntax property=value.

You can configure connection properties for the following categories:

• DB authentication
• Network connection
• TLS/SSL
• High availability
• Tracing
• DRCP
• Sharding
• Performance
• API Behavior
• LDAP
