You may specify additional properties (apart from the connection URL) to the JDBC driver, either by placing them in a java.util.Properties instance and passing that instance to the DriverManager when you connect, or by adding them to the end of your JDBC URL as name-value pairs. The first property needs to be preceeded with a '?' character, and additional name-value pair properties are separated by an '&' character.
The properties, their definitions and their default values can be found at the title of this post linking to this Japanese blog.
