-# Execute SQL (JDBC)
+# JDBC Driver Usage
+
+## Downloading the driver
+
+The jt400.jar driver is included in the [JTOpen package on Maven Central](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jt400/jt400). 
+
+The driver must be placed in the directory that is specified by the application.
+
+## JDBC URL
+
+JDBC URL:  jdbc:as400://hostname/default-schema
+
+replace hostname and default-schema with the database details from the IBMi server.
+
+e.g. `jdbc:as400://pub400.com/qgpl`

+## IBM Toolbox for Java JDBC properties
+
+Many properties can be specified when connecting to DB2 for IBM i using JDBC. All properties are optional and can be specified either as part of the URL or in a java.util.Properties object. If a property is set in both the URL and a Properties object, the value in the URL will be used.
+
+Driver properties can be found at [https://javadoc.io/doc/net.sf.jt400/jt400/latest/com/ibm/as400/access/AS400JDBCDriver.html](https://javadoc.io/doc/net.sf.jt400/jt400/latest/com/ibm/as400/access/AS400JDBCDriver.html)
