I think for each type of database, appserver used different fields. For
instance, oracle will require user,password and url while sybase requires
serverName, databaseName,db port,user,password. I looks through the jdbc pool
creation screens and it seems almost all databases are using url, user, and
password. 

Below is a list of things that are incorrect:

1)IBM DB2 7.1
Datasource Classname should be com.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2DataSource rather than
com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2DataSource

Pre-defined value of URL property is not correct. 

2)Sun DataDirect driver for db2, microsoft, oracle
Pre-defined value of URL property is not correct. Currently it has this format
for all types of databases:
      jdbc:db2://<HOST>:<PORT>/<DB>

Probably it should have this format jdbc:sun:db2://<HOST>:<PORT>;databaseName=<DB>
jdbc:sun:sybase://<HOST>:<PORT>;SID=<DB_SID>
jdbc:sun:sqlserver://<HOST>:<PORT>;SID=<DB_SID>

3)Postgres has incorrect URL value
jdbc:db2://<HOST>:<PORT>/<DB>
 
Maybe it should be:
jdbc:postgresql://<HOST>/<DB>:<PORT>

4)Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver has incorrect URL value 
jdbc:db2://<HOST>:<PORT>/<DB>

Maybe it should be:
jdbc:sqlserver://<HOST>

5)jTDS has has incorrect URL value 
jdbc:db2://<HOST>:<PORT>/<DB>


6) Java DB (net) has incorrect User value

jdbc:db2://<HOST>:<PORT>/<DB>

It should be blank for this field

Do we need other fields such as DatabaseName, serverName, etc ?


7) Pointbase currently has user, password, databaseName properties names

does it take a URL ? will it work with just those field listed above ?
we use  a URL such as jdbc:pointbase:server://<HOST>:<PORT>/<DB>,new
