Description

The documentation needs a section that documents the JDBC driver but that is not cluttered with specifics of how to use it with a specific tool (i.e., SQuirreL). (The SQuirreL-specific stuff in the current "Using JDBC" section should be moved; see DRILL-3144.)

That new section should include the bits of generic information already in the current mostly-SQuirreL "Using JDBC" section (e.g., getting the JDBC-all Jar file, the name of the driver class, etc.) plus the rest of what users need to know, including:

• the form of the driver's JDBC URLs (including required and allowed parameters and their semantics), and
• a pointer to the Javadoc-generated documentation for the JDBC driver (once that is available).
