Subject: Detecting presence of database through JDBC?
Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 11:19:34 -0700
Message-ID: <39219136.FC6A1C87@noao.edu> (raw)
Is there a way to determine whether or not a particular database
exists programmatically throught JDBC? I was expecting an
exception to be thrown if the DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, pwd)
method cannot complete, but instead I get a "FATAL" error that
doesn't seem to be catchable.
(I'd like the program to automatically create a database if it doesn't
yet exist and then populate it with the tables that are needed. Handling
the tables is easy, but I haven't found a way around the test for the
database yet...)
Thanks for any help!
Steve
