public class DatabaseSaver
extends AbstractSaver
implements BatchConverter, IncrementalConverter, DatabaseConverter, OptionHandler, EnvironmentHandler

Writes to a database (tested with MySQL, InstantDB, HSQLDB).

Valid options are:

 -url <JDBC URL>
  The JDBC URL to connect to.
  (default: from DatabaseUtils.props file)

 -user <name>
  The user to connect with to the database.
  (default: none)

 -password <password>
  The password to connect with to the database.
  (default: none)

 -T <table name>
  The name of the table.
  (default: the relation name)

 -truncate
  Truncate (i.e. delete any data) in table before inserting

 -P
  Add an ID column as primary key. The name is specified
  in the DatabaseUtils file ('idColumn'). The DatabaseLoader
  won't load this column.

 -custom-props <file>
  The custom properties file to use instead of default ones,
  containing the database parameters.
  (default: none)

 -i <input file name>
  Input file in arff format that should be saved in database.
