Re: Test a JDBC connection

David,

The JDBC connection pool implementation in commons-dbcp has a property you 
can set to check the connection to make sure it is still valid.  Their 
docs say to set the property to a SQL SELECT statement that will return 1 
row.  Apparently, it also has to be able to return at least the 1 row to 
work.

So my guess, is that is the only way to really tell.

Hoe this helps.

Anyone know of a way to test a JDBC connection without actually doing
anything significant?  I basically want to make sure a JDBC connection is
working, but without putting a load on the system.

Thanks!

david
