Using a Properties object to store connection information

You can use a Properties object to store connection information, and supply this object as an argument to getConnection along with the URL.

For an overview of connection methods, see Connecting to the database using JDBC.

The following components of the URL, described in UltraLite JDBC URLs, can be supplied either as part of the URL or as a member of a Properties object.

• persist

• persistfile

• The jdbc:ultralite components must be supplied in the URL.

If you wish to encrypt your database, you can do so by supplying a key property. For more information, see Encrypting UltraLite databases.
