The database connection is created in 3 steps:
1. Find a proper database URL
2. Load the database driver
3. Ask the Java DriverManager class to open a connection to your database
In java code, the steps are realized in code as follows:
1. Create a properly formatted JDBR URL for your database. (See FAQ on JDBC URL for more information). A JDBC URL has the form
jdbc:someSubProtocol://myDatabaseServer/theDatabaseName

3. Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(”a.JDBC.URL”, “databaseLogin”,”databasePassword”)
