 engine, it is 
  also possible to configure these DataSources with manual entries in your 
  server.properties file.
  When you manually configure a DataSource like this, you do so by maintaining a set of properties with names structured like this:
   sql.{dbName}.x.y
  
  where {dbName} is the name of the database configuration you are providing.
  Note that this database name is just an arbitrary name for a particular database 
  configuration; many of the default ones provided with Smart GWT are named after a database
  type, in order to make their intended use more immediately obvious, but this is 
  not by any means a requirement.
  For the remainder of this discussion, we will assume we are configuring a database with a name of "MyDatabase".
  sql.MyDatabase.database.type
  This should be set to one of the supported database types.  These are:
| hsqldb | HSQLDB 1.7.x and greater | 
| db2 | IBM DB2 8.x and greater | 
| db2iSeries | IBM DB2 for iSeries/i5, V5R4 and greater | 
| firebirdsql | Firebird 2.5 and greater | 
| informix | Informix 11.5 and greater | 
| sqlserver | Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and greater | 
| mysql | MySQL 3.2.x and greater | 
| mariadb | MariaDB 5.1 and greater | 
| oracle | Oracle 8.0.5, 8i and greater | 
| postgresql | PostgreSQL 7.x and greater | 
| generic | A generic SQL92 database, with limitations described in this article | 
  sql.MyDatabase.driver
  The name of the JDBC driver implementation.  This depends upon your database product and 
  version, and the specific JDBC driver you are using (JDBC drivers can usually be downloaded
  from your database vendor's website).  Bearing in mind the caveat that this information can
  vary by release and JDBC implementation, here are some suggested values for our supported 
  databases:
| hsqldb | org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver | 
| db2 | com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2DataSource | 
| db2iSeries | com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver | 
| firebirdsql | org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver | 
| informix | com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver | 
| sqlserver | com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriverorcom.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver(Microsoft changed the order of 
  "jdbc" and "sqlserver" between the 2000 and 2005 editions of the product) | 
| mysql | com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource | 
| mariadb | org.mariadb.jdbc.MariaDbDataSource | 
| oracle | oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver | 
| postgresql | org.postgresql.Driver | 
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.serverName
  The name or IP address of the database server
  
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.portNumber
  The port on which the database server is listening
  
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.user
  The user to connect as
  
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.password
  The user's password
  
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.databaseName
  The database to connect to.  A "database" in this context is a named collection of tables
  and other database resources that are somehow grouped together by the database product.
  The specifics of how this is implemented vary by database.  Note that some database 
  products use the terms "catalog" or "schema" to refer to the same concept, and Oracle - 
  although it does also have a concept of catalog - uses the term "SID" for this concept.
  sql.MyDatabase.interface.type
  Indicates how the JDBC connection will be created or looked up; the value of this setting 
  depends on the capabilities of the particular JDBC driver you are using, and is inherently
  connected to the value of sql.MyDatabase.driver.  The following settings are 
  supported:
  dataSource - the driver is an instance of javax.sql.DataSource and 
  should be instantiated by Smart GWT Server
  driverManager - the driver is an instance of java.sql.DriverManager
  jndi - the driver is an instance of javax.sql.DataSource and should be 
  looked up using JNDI
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.url
  For configurations where sql.MyDatabase.interface.type is "driverManager", 
  this property allows you to manually enter the URL we use to connect to the database.  If 
  this property is not provided, we build the URL from other settings such as 
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.serverName and 
  sql.MyDatabase.driver.databaseName.
 
  Other properties
  Different JDBC drivers support different properties to support product-specific quirks and
  features.  You can often specify these properties by embedding them as parameters in the 
  URL used to connect to the database.
 
  Alternatively, any subproperty you set on the "driver" in server.properties is applied to 
  the JDBC driver object via Reflection. For example, the MySQL JDBC driver supports a property
  "useUnicode", which forces the database to use Unicode character encoding.  If 
 sql.MyDatabase.driver is
 com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource,
  setting sql.MyDatabase.driver.useUnicode to true means we'll attempt to call 
  setUseUnicode(true) on this class.  This would have exactly the same effect as
  defining the connection URL manually and specifying the parameter useUnicode=true
 
  Mysql vs MariaDB: there is broad compatibility between these two databases as described in
 https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/.  Within
  the bounds of that compatibility matrix, you can use database.type 'mysql' and 'mariadb' 
  interchangeably, and likewise with the drivers that you use.  However for future compatibility
 it is recommended that you use database.type: mariadb for MariaDB.  This will
 ensure
  that as MariaDB implements new features and backompat breaking changes, your application won't
 run into any gotchas because the Smart GWT server logic will automatically use the right
 feature
  set to accomplish documented behavior.
 
  
  sql.mysql.optimizeCaseSensitiveCriteria
 This setting affects all MySQL connectors and it is set to true by
 default. 
  Depending on textMatchStyle case
 sensitivity in text criteria is achieved by using LIKE BINARY sql comparison operator, which
 does not
 use indexed search. Indexes are used with regular "=" comparison operator, which does not
 ensure case
 sensitivity. With big amounts of data indexes are critical, so in order to use them and still
 have
  case sensitivity supported this setting must be set to true (default).
  This way we would generate comparison expression like:
  <field> = <value> AND <field> LIKE BINARY <value>
 where first part ensures efficient indexed search and second part adds case sensitivity to
 significantly
 reduced amounts of data. This would be more efficient without indexes as well, cause LIKE
 BINARY
  conversion would be performed on less rows anyway.
  Setting this property to false would bring back the old behavior, when only 
  LIKE BINARY comparison would be used, which would return same results, but much slower.
  
  sql.aliasLengthLimit and sql.MyDatabase.aliasLengthLimit
  These properties override the default table alias length limit when using features like
 DataSourceField.includeVia.
  Default alias length limit is set accordingly to the documentation for supported databases
  and defaults to 128 characters, except these databases:
| firebirdsql | 63 | 
| mysql | 256 | 
| mariadb | 256 | 
| oracle | automatically set to 128 since DB version 12.2 and to 30 for older versions | 
| postgresql | 63 | 
  In order to support portability across databases it is advised to keep alias length limit at
 the lowest supported value. Use global setting sql.aliasLengthLimit to apply limit
  across all DB drivers, or use DB specific setting sql.MyDatabase.aliasLengthLimit
  (overrides the global one).
  
  sql.postgresql.useILike
  Starting with version 12.0, Smart GWT Server supports the use of a Postgres-specific
  comparison keyword, ILIKE.  This keyword natively does a case-insensitive LIKE, so the
  Smart GWT driver does not have to do what it normally does to enable this kind of 
  comparison, which is to convert the filter value to lower case and then generate SQL like:
  
WHERE LOWER(someField) LIKE 'united%'When ILIKE is in use, Postgres is able to make use of indexes, which it does not do when we use the "lowercase both sides" strategy, so this is a potentially significant performance enhancer, depending on your application:
WHERE someField ILIKE 'United%'
