AWS aurora-dsql documentation change

Service: aurora-dsql · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: aurora-dsql/latest/userguide/SECTION_program-with-jdbc-connector.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently use 'Aurora DSQL Connector for JDBC' naming convention, revised examples section, and removed detailed example table in favor of linking to external repository

Security assessment

Changes primarily involve branding/naming standardization and documentation structure improvements. No security vulnerabilities or new security features are mentioned. The IAM authentication functionality remains unchanged from previous documentation.
