The following example URL connects, using a thin driver, to an Oracle server running on a host on IP address 192.168.0.100, port 1521, and service ADDM_DB.
jdbc:oracle:thin:@//192.168.0.100:1521/ADDM_DB

Connection using SID

jdbc:oracle:<drivertype>:@host[:port]:SID

The following example URL connects, using a thin driver, to an Oracle server running on a host on IP address 192.168.0.100, port 1521, and SID ADDM100.
jdbc:oracle:thin:[username/password]@192.168.0.100:1521:ADDM100

JTDS

 jdbc:jtds:servertype://server[:port][/database]
    [;property=value][;property=value]

The following example URL connects using JTDS to an MS SQL server server running on a host on IP address 192.168.0.100, port 1433, database name ADDM_IMPORT, instance TDA, user fred, and password password.
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.0.100:1433/ADDM_IMPORT;
    instance=TDA;user=fred;password=password

When using a domain credential (Windows Authentication) of the form DOMAINNAME\username enter the username in the URL described, and the domain information in the Additional JDBC parameters dialog box in the following form: domain="DOMAINNAME". Also, if the domain controller requires NTLM v2 add the parameter: useNTLMv2=true

The following example URL connects using JTDS to an MS SQL server server running on a host on IP address 192.168.0.100, port 1433, database name ADDM_IMPORT, instance TDA, Windows user fred in the domain DOM1, and password password.
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.0.100:1433/ADDM_IMPORT;
