JDBC Driver for Amazon DynamoDB

Build 22.0.8462

Connecting from Code

This section describes how to connect with the JDBC DriverManager or AmazonDynamoDBDataSource interfaces.

Connecting with the DriverManager

When connecting with the DriverManager class, the CData JDBC Driver for Amazon DynamoDB follows the JDBC convention: First, load the AmazonDynamoDB driver class. Then, make a connection.

Load the Driver

The following step is optional per the JDBC 4.0 specification.
Class.forName("cdata.jdbc.amazondynamodb.AmazonDynamoDBDriver");

Establish a Connection

Provide the connection string with the getConnection method of the static DriverManager class. Start the connection string with "jdbc:amazondynamodb:". A typical connection string is the following:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:amazondynamodb:AWS Access Key=xxx;AWS Secret Key=xxx;Domain=amazonaws.com;AWS Region=OREGON;");
Alternatively, you can prepare the connection options using a Properties object. Pass the Properties object to the DriverManager.
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("AWSAccess Key","xxx");
prop.setProperty("AWSSecret Key","xxx");
prop.setProperty("Domain","amazonaws.com");
prop.setProperty("AWSRegion","OREGON");

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:amazondynamodb:",prop);

Connecting with the AmazonDynamoDBDataSource Class

You can use the AmazonDynamoDBDataSource class to create pooled connections, as shown in the following example. See Connection Pooling for more information.

The following example instantiates a pooled Connection object:

AmazonDynamoDBDataSource ds = new AmazonDynamoDBDataSource("jdbc:amazondynamodb:UseConnectionPooling=true;AWS Access Key=xxx;AWS Secret Key=xxx;Domain=amazonaws.com;AWS Region=OREGON;"); 
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
