This document is meant to be a help in setting up a new MRALD installation.
It provides a list of common (and some uncommon) databases and the format
for their JDBC strings. The format of the list is:

Database
        DBDRIVER string
        DBSERVER string

Numbers given are port numbers and are the defaults as best I can tell.
Where shown, <database> is used to show the database name - the
JDBC term for this is "catalog". You may have to change them depending
on the installation. MRALD has not been tested on all these, but at
least we now have strings for them.

Postgres
        org.postgresql.Driver
        jdbc:postgresql://<host>:5432/<database>

MySql
        com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
        jdbc:mysql://<mysqlhost>/<database>

Oracle
        oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
        jdbc:oracle:thin:@<server>:1521:<sid> (for thin)
        jdbc:oracle:oci8:@<database> (for OCI)

Informix
        com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver
        jdbc:informix-sqli://<host>:<port>:informixserver=<ifx_server>

DB2
        COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver
        jdbc:db2://<host>/<database>

Sybase
        com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver
        jdbc:sybase:Tds:<host>:2638/<database> (database is optional?)

SQLServer
        com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
        jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433

An as alternative to the vendor drivers for SQLServer and Sybase, you can use the jTDS drvier from here.
        net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
        jdbc:jtds:<server_type>://<server>[:<port>] [/<database>]
                (server type is 'sqlserver' or 'sybase' :: port default is 1433 for SQL Server and 7100 for Sybase :: database is optional)

net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver HypersonicSQL
        org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
        jdbc:hsqldb:hsqls://<host>:9001/<database>

Mckoi
        com.mckoi.JDBCDriver
        jdbc:mckoi://<host>/<database>
