Connecting to SQL Server with the JDBC Driver
One of the most fundamental things that you will do with the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver is to make a connection to a SQL Server database. All interaction with the database occurs through the SQLServerConnection object, and because the JDBC driver has such a flat architecture, almost all interesting behavior touches the SQLServerConnection object.
The topics in this section describe how to make and work with a connection to a SQL Server database.
