Using Connection Properties

You can use connection properties to customize the driver for your environment. Connection properties can be used to accomplish different tasks, such as implementing driver functionality or optimizing performance.
You can specify connection properties using either of the following methods:
*JDBC Driver Manager (see Connecting Using the JDBC Driver Manager)
*JDBC data sources (see Connecting Using Data Sources)
Connection properties take the form property=value. All connection property names are case-insensitive. For example, Password is the same as password.
See Connection Property Descriptions for an alphabetical list of connection properties and their descriptions.
