How To Use getConnection

How to establish a Database connection between java application and Database?

If we want to establish a connection between java application and the database we will the following piece of code.

Connection con= DriverManager.getConnection(“jdbc:odbc:nag”,”nag”,”system”,”manager”);
Where getConnectin() is a static method from DriverManager class, which can be used to return connection object.

Basically Connection is an interface, how getConnection() will create an object for Connection interface?

Ans: 
Connection is an interface from java.sql package, for which getConnection(_)  was return an anonymous inner class object of the Connection interface.

Note:- 
Anonymous inner class is a nameless inner class, which can be sued to provide an implementation either for the interfaces or for abstract classes.

Eg:   interface I
         {
                void m1();
          }
         Class Outer
         {
                     I  i = new I(){
                                             public void m1()
                                             {
 
                                             }
                                             public void m2()
                                             {
}
                                           }
            }
            Outer o = new Outer();
            o.i.m1();   à  correct
            o.i.m2();   à  wrong
 

getConnection(_) is a static method from DriverManager class, which will call internally  connect() method, this connect() will establish a virtual socket connection in between the java application and the database.
