## Overview

The Configure a JDBC Connection Pool --> Define and Test Connection page includes the following attributes. See the documentation from your JDBC driver vendor for the correct format for each of these attributes.

Driver Classname—Enter the full package name of JDBC driver class used to create the physical database connections in the connection pool.

URL—Enter the database URL used to create the connections in this JDBC connection pool. The format and information included in the URL varies greatly between DBMSs and JDBC drivers. For some XA drivers, the URL can be blank. Other JDBC drivers require additional information in the URL, such as the host name and port and the database username and password.

Password—Enter the password for the Database User Name to use to connect to the database.

Properties—Enter additional properties required or supported by the DBMS or JDBC driver, such as `informixServer` for Informix.. Enter each property on a separate line as a `key=value` pair.
