**Table 10-3: General tab connection cache properties**
Property	Description	Comments/Example
Connection Cache Name	The name for this cache configuration.	Connection cache names are limited to one word, which can contain letters, numbers, and underscores. Names are case-sensitive. You cannot modify the name of an existing connection cache.
Description for the cache	The description of the connection cache section.	The description is a string of up to 255 characters.
Server Name	The URL appropriate for use in JDBC calls.	For the Sybase shared-memory JDBC driver, use: jdbc:sybase:shm:null:0 where host name = null and port = 0 (zero), because the connection is made through shared memory and not through the network.
Driver name	Set the driver name and properties using the Driver tab on the General window. Your choice for library type is: JDBC – for connections using the Sybase shared-memory JDBC driver.	The names for each of the cache types are: For NT platforms: JDBC – the Java class name for the driver class. For example, the Sybase jConnect 5.2 driver requires com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybConnectionPoolDataSource. For UNIX platforms: JDBC – the Java class name for the driver class; for example, com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver.
User Name	The user name for this cache.	The name used (along with a password) to connect to the database identified by the server entry.
Password	The password for this cache.	The password used in connection with a user name to connect to the database identified by the server entry. Passwords are encrypted in the EJB Server configuration file. The Adaptive Server plug-in does not display passwords for existing caches. If you need to change a password, enter the new password and click OK.
