This class enables retrieval of activity incidents from just about any database management system. It should support MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Sybase.

This class uses the following properties:

  Must contain the name of the JDBC driver class. See the following examples:
  • com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
  • org.postgresql.Driver
  • oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
  • com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver
• org.apache.oodt.commons.activity.SQLDatabaseRetrieval.url
  Must contain the URL specification for the target database. See the following examples:
  • jdbc:mysql://host:port/database
  • jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database
  • jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:database
  • jdbc:sybase::Tds:host:port/database
• org.apache.oodt.commons.activity.SQLDatabaseRetrieval.user
  Must contain the user name for the target database.
• org.apache.oodt.commons.activity.SQLDatabaseRetrieval.password
  Must contain the password for the target database.

This class expects the following table to exist in the target database (data types will vary depending on the vendor):

      create table incidents (
         activityID varchar(32) not null,
         className varchar(255) not null,
         occurTime bigint not null default 0,
