DriverManager

JDBC 4.1 specification, when the DriverManager is trying to establish a connection:

  • it calls the driver’s connect method
  • and passes the URL.

If the Driver implementation:

  • understands the URL, it will:
    • return a Connection object
    • or throw a SQLException if a connection cannot be maded to the database.
  • does not understand the URL, it will return null.
