All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, BatchConverter, DatabaseConverter, IncrementalConverter, Saver, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler

    public class DatabaseSaver

extends AbstractSaver
implements BatchConverter, IncrementalConverter, DatabaseConverter, OptionHandler

Writes to a database (tested with MySQL, InstantDB, HSQLDB).

Valid options are:

     -url <JDBC URL>
      The JDBC URL to connect to.
      (default: from DatabaseUtils.props file)

     -user <name>

      The name of the table.
      (default: the relation name)

     -P
      Add an ID column as primary key. The name is specified
