/** {@collect.stats}
* <P>A connection (session) with a specific
* database. SQL statements are executed and results are returned
* within the context of a connection.
* <P>
* A <code>Connection</code> object's database is able to provide information
* describing its tables, its supported SQL grammar, its stored
* procedures, the capabilities of this connection, and so on. This
* information is obtained with the <code>getMetaData</code> method.
*
* <P><B>Note:</B> When configuring a <code>Connection</code>, JDBC applications
* should use the appropritate <code>Connection</code> method such as
* <code>setAutoCommit</code> or <code>setTransactionIsolation</code>.
* Applications should not invoke SQL commands directly to change the connection's
* configuration when there is a JDBC method available. By default a <code>Connection</code> object is in
* auto-commit mode, which means that it automatically commits changes
* after executing each statement. If auto-commit mode has been
* disabled, the method <code>commit</code> must be called explicitly in
* order to commit changes; otherwise, database changes will not be saved.
* <P>
* A new <code>Connection</code> object created using the JDBC 2.1 core API
* has an initially empty type map associated with it. A user may enter a
* custom mapping for a UDT in this type map.
* When a UDT is retrieved from a data source with the
* method <code>ResultSet.getObject</code>, the <code>getObject</code> method
* will check the connection's type map to see if there is an entry for that
* UDT. If so, the <code>getObject</code> method will map the UDT to the
* class indicated. If there is no entry, the UDT will be mapped using the
* standard mapping.
* <p>
* A user may create a new type map, which is a <code>java.util.Map</code>
* object, make an entry in it, and pass it to the <code>java.sql</code>
* methods that can perform custom mapping. In this case, the method
* will use the given type map instead of the one associated with
* the connection.
* <p>
* For example, the following code fragment specifies that the SQL
* type <code>ATHLETES</code> will be mapped to the class
* <code>Athletes</code> in the Java programming language.
* The code fragment retrieves the type map for the <code>Connection
* </code> object <code>con</code>, inserts the entry into it, and then sets
* the type map with the new entry as the connection's type map.
* <pre>
* java.util.Map map = con.getTypeMap();
* map.put("mySchemaName.ATHLETES", Class.forName("Athletes"));
* con.setTypeMap(map);
* </pre>
