Driver command

Syntax

DRIVER DriverNameString

Description

Takes the value of the DriverNameString and issues a Class.forName request to load the named class. The class is expected to be a JDBC driver that registers itself with java.sql.DriverManager.

If the Driver command succeeds, a new ij prompt appears for the next command.

Example

ij> -- load the Derby driver so that a connection
-- can be made: 
driver 'org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver';
ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:menuDB;create=true';
ij>
