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

Connecting with the DriverManager

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

Load the Driver

The following step is optional per the JDBC 4.0 specification.

Class.forName("cdata.jdbc.amazonmarketplace.AmazonMarketplaceDriver");

Establish a Connection

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

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:amazonmarketplace:MWSAuthToken=myMWSAuthToken;SellerId=mySellerId;Marketplace=United States;Schema=Marketplace;");

Alternatively, you can prepare the connection options using a Properties object. Pass the Properties object to the DriverManager.

prop.setProperty("MWS Auth Token","myMWSAuthToken");
prop.setProperty("Seller Id","mySellerId");
prop.setProperty("Marketplace","United States");
prop.setProperty("Schema","Marketplace");

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

Connecting with the AmazonMarketplaceDataSource Class

You can use the AmazonMarketplaceDataSource 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:

AmazonMarketplaceDataSource ds = new AmazonMarketplaceDataSource("jdbc:amazonmarketplace:UseConnectionPooling=true;MWSAuthToken=myMWSAuthToken;SellerId=mySellerId;Marketplace=United States;Schema=Marketplace;"); 
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
