## Code sample

### Java


To authenticate to Cloud SQL for SQL Server, set up Application Default Credentials.
For more information, see

[Set up authentication for a local development environment](https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/set-up-adc-local-dev-environment.md.txt).

```java

import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig;
import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource;
import javax.sql.DataSource;

public class ConnectorConnectionPoolFactory extends ConnectionPoolFactory {

  // Note: Saving credentials in environment variables is convenient, but not
  // secure - consider a more secure solution such as
  // Cloud Secret Manager (https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager) to help
  // keep secrets safe.
  private static final String INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME =
      System.getenv("INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME");
  private static final String DB_USER = System.getenv("DB_USER");
  private static final String DB_PASS = System.getenv("DB_PASS");
  private static final String DB_NAME = System.getenv("DB_NAME");

  public static DataSource createConnectionPool() {
    // The configuration object specifies behaviors for the connection pool.
    HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();

    // The following is equivalent to setting the config options below:
    // jdbc:sqlserver://;user=<DB_USER>;password=<DB_PASS>;databaseName=<DB_NAME>;
    // socketFactoryClass=com.google.cloud.sql.sqlserver.SocketFactory;
    // socketFactoryConstructorArg=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>

    // See the link below for more info on building a JDBC URL for the Cloud SQL JDBC Socket Factory
    // https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-sql-jdbc-socket-factory#creating-the-jdbc-url

    // Configure which instance and what database user to connect with.
    config
        .setDataSourceClassName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource");
    config.setUsername(DB_USER); // e.g. "root", "sqlserver"
    config.setPassword(DB_PASS); // e.g. "my-password"
    config.addDataSourceProperty("databaseName", DB_NAME);

    config.addDataSourceProperty("socketFactoryClass",
        "com.google.cloud.sql.sqlserver.SocketFactory");
    config.addDataSourceProperty("socketFactoryConstructorArg", INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME);

    // The Java Connector provides SSL encryption, so it should be disabled
    // at the driver level.
    config.addDataSourceProperty("encrypt", "false");

    // cloudSqlRefreshStrategy set to "lazy" is used to perform a
    // refresh when needed, rather than on a scheduled interval.
    // This is recommended for serverless environments to
    // avoid background refreshes from throttling CPU.
    config.addDataSourceProperty("cloudSqlRefreshStrategy", "lazy");

    // ... Specify additional connection properties here.
    // ...

    // Initialize the connection pool using the configuration object.
    return new HikariDataSource(config);
  }
}
```
