Create Datasource with Hsqldb

Introduction Hsqldb​

This document contains information about the Hsqldb database how to install and connect with AIV.This document has step-by-step information on how to install, connect Hsqldb Database with AIV and will show one use case example.

HyperSQL Database (HSQLDB) is a modern relational database manager that conforms closely to the SQL:2011 standard and JDBC 4 specifications. It supports all core features and RDBMS. HSQLDB is used for development, testing, and deployment of database applications.HSQLDB is also suitable for business intelligence, ETL, and other applications that process large data sets.

Objective​

Objective of this document is to connect Hsqldb Database with AIV.

Prerequisites​

  1. Hsqldb Jar

  2. Java Eclipse

  3. Hsqldb Database

Skill Level Required​

Basic knowledge of Database.

1. Download Hsqldb JDBC driver:​

To get the JDBC driver, Go the vendor's end and download the (Hsqldb-connector-java.jar) Driver file from here as shown in figure below:

Docusaurus Slash Introduction

Go to the folder where you have downloaded this file and extract the zip file.

When you go inside the folder you will be able to see lib folder.

copy the hsqldb & hsqldb-jdk8 jar file and add it into the AIV.

Note:

  • To add jar go to the Directory where AIV installed AIV\apache-tomcat-8.5.61\webapps\aiv\WEB-INF\lib folder and add the .jar file here.

    AIV: AIV is folder name where aiv is installed.

    Apache-tomcat-8.5.61: Apache Server [Apache folder is located inside the AIV folder, suffix version may change]

Restart the Tomcat server after adding a jar in the lib folder.

2. Download the java Eclipse from here.​

Wait Time: Wait Time Analysis for Database Optimization. Wait time analysis helps you understand how much time each SQL statement is spending across all its executions in a given period of time.

Is JNDI: Java Naming and Directory Interface is the name of the interface in the Java programming language. It is an API( Application Program Interface) that works with servers and can fetch files from a database using naming conventions.

Class: Database class Contains methods for creating and manipulating data.

Connection URL: A database connection URL is a string that your DBMS JDBC driver uses to connect to a database.It can contain information such as where to search for the database, the name of the database to connect to, and configuration properties.

Username: Username is the name of the user that is connected to the database.

Password: You can set a password on an Access database to prevent unauthorized access to the database file.

Extra Configuration: Using Extra Configuration you can add extra fields as per ypur requirements.

Insert the following data in the Datasource connection Dialog box:

Note:

Enter Display Name: Hsqldb [ Add name as per your requirements]

Enter Class:org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver

Enter URL: jdbc:hsqldb:/database_file_path [Add Connection URL as per your connection]

(URL: jdbc:hsqldb:C:\Hsqldb\hsqldb-2.6.1\hsqldb) Datasource

Enter Username: sa [Provide the username of your SQLite Datasource]

Enter Password: [Enter your respective SQLite password]

Click on Test Connection Button to Check Database Connection, as shown in figure below:
