How to get database url from java.sql.Connection?

Question

For given Connection instance how do I find out url that the Connection uses to connect the database ? Is it somewhere in Properties returned by Co

Answer 1

I believe you can use the DatabaseMetaData object from the Connection and then get the URL. Try:

DatabaseMetaData dmd = connection.getMetaData();
String url = dmd.getURL();

Answer 2

connection.getClientInfo() has all the details related to connection. It returns a properties object. You can retrieve the value of "password" property to fetch the password that was used for the connection object.

Please let me know if this solves your problem.

Answer 3

Connection has the getMetaData() to return DatabaseMetaData . DatabaseMetaData has the getURL() to return the URL for this DBMS.
