Question regarding the sending of passwords via JDBC . . .

843854Jan 9 2002 — edited Apr 2 2004
Hey All,

I'd like to know if the username and password is sent in clear text during the getConnection() JDBC call to connect a client to a database?

I'm using a type 4 driver. Does this mean that the connection protocol is database-dependent and that some databases may allow the sending of passwords to be encrypted?

Thanks for any help.

Peter
