Method Detail

getDriver

public Driver getDriver()

Returns the Driver that this connection manager is using to connect to the database.

getDBName

public DBName getDBName()
                 throws SQLException

Returns the dbname corresponding that the database connected to by this connection manager. Useful for writing database specific code as/when applicable.

Throws:

SQLException

setCatalog

public void setCatalog(String name)

If set, the ConnectionMgr will always return connections set to the specified catalog. Set this to null to return connections not set to any catalog.

getConnection

public Connection getConnection()
                         throws SQLException

Returns a connection if successful, otherwise throws a SQLException. The returned has the default JDBC properties, including being in auto-commit mode (which means that it automatically commits changes after executing each statement).

Throws:

SQLException

close

public boolean close()

Closes the ConnectionMgr. After this call, no more connections can be checked out and any existing checked out connections are closed. Does not throw an Exception but returns false (instead) if the ConnectionMgr could not be closed. Calls the handleMgrShutdown() method inside a synchronized block.

Returns:

true if connection manager closed successfully, false otherwise

getURL

public String getURL()

Returns the jdbc url that this connection manager is using,

toString

public String toString()
