Seting Schema for HSQLDB in JDBC connection - jdbc

Question

How does one set the schema for HSQLDB in the JDBC URL itself.
Kinda how you can do in MySQL with jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/
-EDIT-
My current DB url looks like this
jdbc:hsqldb:file:C:\\hsqldb\\dbname
Also inside the dbanme there is a schema newSchema, which can be set using
set schema newSchema,
how do i do this using the jdbc URL itself.

Answer 1

have you already tried the standard protocol?
"jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://[HOST]:[PORT]/myDBName"
How are you trying to connect? through a standalone app or by creating a resource?
You might have seen this but still check here if not done:

Answer 2

I think need to specify the port number like as shown //192.0.0.10:9500

Answer 3

UPDATE:
I have been doing some more testing. The suggested solution appears to be ineffective.
For example; if I set the schema to Test I still may not use SQL on tables in that schema. Essentially that extra stuff I put in there has no effect, even though I thought it was OK.
select * from BOOKMARKS;
SEVERE SQL Error at '<stdin>' line 5:
"select * from BOOKMARKS"
user lacks privilege or object not found: BOOKMARKS
SquirrelSQL has an option for an initial schema, so queries there work OK. The sqlTool accepts the URI but doesn't change/select the schema. It is slightly frustrating that I can't see HOW to report the current schema name in use btw.
So this answer doesn't solve the problem; I'm leaving it here because it will save the next person time when they find a good answer to the challenge.
back to the drawing board ...
original suggestion ...
I'd like to do this too. For example with mysql the example is:
mysql -h hostname:port schema
The port number, being one port per database. Now in HSQLDB, the URL is one database within a Catalog (that's how they spell it). Here's the solution I came-up with. I have ...
databsee: dev
schemas
public
test
In my RC file, ~/.config/sqltool.rc ...
urlid dev_test
url jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/dev;set schema test;
username programmer
password secret
I can use the connection ID dev_test to link to the test schema, the normal default is public. And you can run the sql tool with:
java -jar /usr/lib/hsqldb/lib/sqltool.jar --rcFile=~/.config/sqltool.rc dev_tmp
That approach worked with a Groovy Sql connection:
url: 'jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/dev;set schema test',
...
Worked just how I'd want it. So what I can do is append the schema I want to that URL connection string string. It may no be the solution but it will do what you describe.
Looking at the connection protocol: there is NO option for a schema nor for a catalog. So catalog will be part of your URL, eg. if you use a file base database, that is one catalog.
