      public final class SQLPermission
      extends BasicPermission

  The permission for which the `SecurityManager` will check when code that is running in an applet, or an application with a `SecurityManager` enabled, calls the `DriverManager.setLogWriter` method, `DriverManager.setLogStream` (deprecated) method, `SyncFactory.setJNDIContext` method, `SyncFactory.setLogger` method, `Connection.setNetworktimeout` method, or the `Connection.abort` method. If there is no `SQLPermission` object, these methods throw a `java.lang.SecurityException` as a runtime exception.

  A `SQLPermission` object contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; there is either a named permission or there is not. The target name is the name of the permission (see below). The naming convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention. In addition, an asterisk may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to signify a wildcard match. For example: `loadLibrary.*` or `*` is valid, but `*loadLibrary` or `a*b` is not valid.

  The following table lists all the possible `SQLPermission` target names. The table gives a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.

  Permission Target Name | What the Permission Allows | Risks of Allowing this Permission
  --- | --- | ---
  setLog | Setting of the logging stream | This is a dangerous permission to grant. The contents of the log may contain usernames and passwords, SQL statements, and SQL data.
  callAbort | Allows the invocation of the `Connection` method `abort` | Permits an application to terminate a physical connection to a database.
  setSyncFactory | Allows the invocation of the `SyncFactory` methods `setJNDIContext` and `setLogger` | Permits an application to specify the JNDI context from which the `SyncProvider` implementations can be retrieved from and the logging object to be used by the `SyncProvider` implementation.
  setNetworkTimeout | Allows the invocation of the `Connection` method `setNetworkTimeout` | Permits an application to specify the maximum period a `Connection` or objects created from the `Connection` will wait for the database to reply to any one request.

  The person running an applet decides what permissions to allow and will run the `Policy Tool` to create an `SQLPermission` in a policy file. A programmer does not use a constructor directly to create an instance of `SQLPermission` but rather uses a tool.

    - #### SQLPermission

          public SQLPermission(String name)

      Creates a new `SQLPermission` object with the specified name. The name is the symbolic name of the `SQLPermission`.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of this `SQLPermission` object, which must be either `setLog`, `callAbort`, `setSyncFactory`, or `setNetworkTimeout`
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `name` is `null`.
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `name` is empty.

    - #### SQLPermission

          public SQLPermission(String name,
                       String actions)

      Creates a new `SQLPermission` object with the specified name. The name is the symbolic name of the `SQLPermission`; the actions `String` is currently unused and should be `null`.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of this `SQLPermission` object, which must be either `setLog`, `callAbort`, `setSyncFactory`, or `setNetworkTimeout`
        `actions` - should be `null`
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `name` is `null`.
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `name` is empty.
