Document the fact that attributes on the connection URL trump attributes 
specified in a connection Properties object.

                 Key: DERBY-5516
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5516
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation, JDBC
    Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
            Reporter: Rick Hillegas


Attributes for a Derby connection can be set via semicolon-separated lists on 
the connection url as well as in a Properties object passed to the 
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection() and java.sql.Driver.connect() methods. 
The JDBC spec does not indicate what should happen if an attribute is specified 
both on the connection url and in the Properties object. For some databases, 
like Derby, the attributes on the connection url trump the attributes in the 
Properties object. For other databases, like MySQL, the reverse is true.

Because the JDBC spec does not dictate standard behavior here, we should 
document what Derby does. This information would be useful in some or all of 
the following sections:

Reference Manual:

  Setting attributes for the database connection URL
  Attributes of the Derby database connection URL
  java.sql.Driver interface
  java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection method

Developer's Guide:

  Working with the database connection URL attributes
  Specifying attributes in a properties object
