JAVA_ARGS="-Dproperty_name=property_value" for an interactive sqlf session). You cannot dene these
properties in a JDBC URL connection. Many of these SQLFire system properties affect features of the SQLFire
member at boot time.
The names of SQLFire system properties always include the "sqlre." prex. For example, all properties that congure
LDAP server information for user authentication must be specied as Java system properties, rather than JDBC
properties, when you boot a server.
Certain properties have additional behaviors or restrictions. See the individual property descriptions for more information.
Property Prefixes
You must add a prex to certain connection and boot property names when you dene those properties in the
sqlfire.properties le or as Java system properties. The Prex row in each property table lists a prex value
when one is required. Where indicated, the "sqlre." prex is required when dening the property either in
sqlfire.properties or as a Java system property. The "gemre." prex is required only when dening a Java
system property.
Do not use an indicated prex when you specify the property in a connection string or with the FabricServer API.
If no prex is specied, use only the indicated property name in all circumstances. For example, use "host-data" whether
you dene this property in sqlfire.properties, as a Java system property, or as a property denition for
FabricServer.
Using Non-ASCII Strings in SQLFire Property Files
You can specify Unicode (non-ASCII) characters in vFabric SQLFire property les by using a /uXXXX escape
sequence. For a supplementary character, you need two escape sequences, one for each of the two UTF-16 code units.
The XXXX denotes the 4 hexadecimal digits for the value of the UTF-16 code unit. For example, a properties le
might have the following entries:
s1=hello there
s2=\u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f
For example, in sqlfire.properties, you might write:
log-file=my\u00df.log
to indicate the desired property denition of log-file=myß.log.
If you have edited and saved the le in a non-ASCII encoding, you can convert it to ASCII with the native2ascii
tool included in your Oracle Java distribution. For example, you might want to do this when editing a properties le
in Shift_JIS, a popular Japanese encoding.
