Description Roman Mostyka 2008-10-27 13:06:38 UTC 
1. Add Pointbase driver.
2. Rightclick it and choose "Connect Using...".

Result: "New Connection" dialog is opened and Pointbase driver is chosen, but there is no URL prefix for this kind of
driver. Can we somehow read necessary prefix (like jdbc:pointbase:server:// for Pointbase) and add it. It will be easier
for customers to set URL if they don't need to remember prefixes.

I agree this would be helpful, but this seems like an enhancement request, not a defect.  And since you are talking
about second-tier drivers, even if this were a defect, it wouldn't be a P2.

Reassigned to new owner.

In netbeans 7.0.1 is an extensive list of drivers and their corresponding JDBC URL Scheme. I think this is all, that can be done, as the JDBC API does not seem to offer a (documented) way to query a driver for the supported URL Scheme or even only the subprotocol.
