Configuration stored in a database. The properties are retrieved from a table containing at least one column for the keys, and one column for the values. It's possible to store several configurations in the same table by adding a column containing the name of the configuration. The name of the table and the columns is specified in the constructor.

Example 1 - One configuration per table

CREATE TABLE myconfig (
    `key`   VARCHAR NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    `value` VARCHAR
);
INSERT INTO myconfig (key, value) VALUES ('foo', 'bar');
Configuration config = new DatabaseConfiguration(datasource, "myconfig", "key", "value");
String value = config.getString("foo");

Example 2 - Multiple configurations per table

CREATE TABLE myconfigs (
    `name`  VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    `key`   VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    `value` VARCHAR,
    CONSTRAINT sys_pk_myconfigs PRIMARY KEY (`name`, `key`)
);
INSERT INTO myconfigs (name, key, value) VALUES ('config1', 'key1', 'value1');
INSERT INTO myconfigs (name, key, value) VALUES ('config2', 'key2', 'value2');
Configuration config1 = new DatabaseConfiguration(datasource, "myconfigs", "name", "key", "value", "config1");
String value1 = conf.getString("key1");
Configuration config2 = new DatabaseConfiguration(datasource, "myconfigs", "name", "key", "value", "config2");
String value2 = conf.getString("key2");
The configuration can be instructed to perform commits after database updates. This is achieved by setting the commits parameter of the constructors to true. If commits should not be performed (which is the default behavior), it should be ensured that the connections returned by the DataSource are in auto-commit mode.

Note: Like JDBC itself, protection against SQL injection is left to the user.
