Hello,

O.k., the basic JDBC syntax is:

jdbc:<driver>://<host>[:<port>]/<database_name>

Where driver is the actual database such as postgresql or db2.

I am thinking something like:

postgres:ssl://localhost:5432/template

Many drivers support an extended syntax like:

postgres:ssl://localhost:5432/template1/?username=jd&password=foobar&ssl=true

But I don't know if we want to go there.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
