Broken links on documentation for java.jdbc in README

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 10:32:24 +0000

Links on http://clojure-doc.org/articles/ecosystem/java_jdbc are broken in the READ

http://clojure-doc.org/articles/ecosystem/java_jdbc/home.html should be http://clojure-doc.org/articles/ecosystem/java_jdbc/home (without .html extension)

The patch with fix for broken links

Thanks

Pass JDBC connection properties when creating connection via connection-uri

Sun, 22 Sep 2019 08:00:31 +0000

Hi there

In java.jdbc, when using a raw connection uri, properties cannot be passed in and have to be part of the uri, except for username and password which can be taken from the db-spec, as there is a DriverManager constructor that takes username and password specifically. DriverManager does, however, provide another constructor in which any properties can be provided, including username and password. Would it be possible to use that constructor instead? Here is what the change would look like: https://github.com/dmcgillen/java.jdbc/commit/95edd36997320d8dc6882ea371d88c901e49f465#diff-3a9a3475f16407a50d922fad53957b01L293.

For context, this has come up for me since I've been using an AWS Secrets Manager JDBC wrapper, which takes the secret id as a connection uri. I'd still like to provide other JDBC properties, but they are expected to be provided as in the change above, and it seems like a good idea to support properties being passed in this way.

Let me know if I should have created a JIRA rather than posting here and I can do so (if this change is a good idea, of course).

Thanks

Make it easier to test java.jdbc in other environments

Make the versions properties in {{pom.xml}} and/or {{project.clj}}, make the database names, usernames, and passwords configurable via environment variables.

This came up via a suggestion from the PostgreSQL community -- see this pull request for guidance on what we could open up: https://github.com/clojure/java.jdbc/pull/44/files
