Re: Connecting to mysql database in Netbeans

[Michael Kahler]

Hello,
I was able to link MySQL to Netbeans as follows:
Start Netbeans
From the Windows menu click on Services
Expand the Drivers icon on the Services tree
Right click on MySQL (Connector/J Driver)
This brought up a New Connection Wizard. It appears Netbeans already recognized that I had MySQL installed. I verified Host was localhost, the port is 3306, database as mysql, username = root, and the password I set up in MySQL administration. The JDBC URL was already completed. When I pressed the Test Connection button everything came out fine. I finished the wizard and found Netbeans had all the databases I have on MySQL showing.
I hope this helps, as I am a newbie, too!
