How to use databank values in utilities.getSQLService() statements?

Question

Hi,
I have configured conections.csv file containing fields
Connection,Hostname,Port,Service_name,DB_User_Name,DB_Password
and used the following statements to connect to the database:
          getDatabank("connections").getNextDatabankRecord();
          utilities.getSQLService().define("{{connections.Connection}}",
                    "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver",
                    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@{{connections.Hostname}}:{{connections.Port}}/{{connections.Service_name}}",
                    "{{connections.DB_User_Name}}",
                    "{{connections.DB_Password}}");
          utilities.getSQLService().connect("{{connections.Connection}}");
Unfortunately this did not work.
Is it possible to use databank values to parametrize connection to the database?
Thanks,
Maija

Hi Alex,
These 2 options worked OK
--- Option 1: using variables ---
     public String v_env, v_host, v_port, v_srv, v_usr, v_pwd;
     public void initialize() throws Exception {
          getDatabank("connections").getNextDatabankRecord();
          v_env = eval("{{db.connections.Environment}}");
          v_host = eval("{{db.connections.Hostname}}");
          v_port = eval("{{db.connections.Port}}");
          v_srv = eval("{{db.connections.Service_name}}");
          v_usr = eval("{{db.connections.DB_User_Name}}");
          v_pwd = eval("{{db.connections.DB_Password}}");
          utilities.getSQLService().define(v_env,
               "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver",
               "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + v_host + ":" + v_port + "/" + v_srv,
               v_usr,
               v_pwd);
          utilities.getSQLService().connect(v_env);
*--- Option 2: using eval("{{db.connections.<data_field>}}" ---*
          utilities.getSQLService().define(eval("{{db.connections.Environment}}"),
                    "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver",
                    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + eval("{{db.connections.Hostname}}") + ":" + eval("{{db.connections.Port}}") + "/" + eval("{{db.connections.Service_name}}"),
                    eval("{{db.connections.DB_User_Name}}"),
                    eval("{{db.connections.DB_Password}}"));
          utilities.getSQLService().connect(eval("{{db.connections.Environment}}"));
Thanks for prompt help! :)
