Database Recognition

Identifier:
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.sqm.core.databaseRecognition

Since:
0.7

Description:
Provides a database recognizer. The database recognizer instance, which must implement org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.sqm.core.definition.IDatabaseRecognizer, can be used for determining the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.sqm.core.definition.DatabaseDefinition instance that is appropriate for a given java.sql.Connection object.

Specifies the mapping to look up the product and version of a org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.sqm.core.definition.DatabaseDefinition instance, given the database product meta-data provided by a JDBC driver. The specialized database recognizer contributed in this extension would first try to determine the appropriate DatabaseDefinition instance. If it is not able to find a match, these mappings will then get used to determine an appropriate DatabaseDefinition instance.



API Information:
Use the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.sqm.core.definition.DatabaseDefinitionRegistry#recognize(Connection) method to exercise the functionality provided by this extension point.
