In the following code snippet, you will see how to pass some connection arguments when connecting to a database. To do this, we can use the java.util.Properties class. We can put some key value pairs as a connection arguments to the Properties object
before we pass this information into the DriverManager class.

Let’s see the example below:

package org.kodejava.jdbc;

import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Properties;

public class GetConnectionWithProperties {
    private static final String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/kodejava";
    private static final String USERNAME = "kodejava";
    private static final String PASSWORD = "s3cr*t";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GetConnectionWithProperties demo = new GetConnectionWithProperties();
        try (Connection connection = demo.getConnection()) {
            // do something with the connection.
            Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM product");
            while (rs.next()) {
                System.out.println("Code = " + rs.getString("code"));
                System.out.println("Name = " + rs.getString("name"));
            }
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
        Properties connectionProps = new Properties();
        connectionProps.put("user", USERNAME);
        connectionProps.put("password", PASSWORD);

        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, connectionProps);
        System.out.println("Connected to database.");
        return connection;
    }
}
