Newbie Java JDBC Question

[flatoff]

Hello - I'm trying to write a sample program to explore the functionality of MySql with Java so I can learn how to write real programs. I haven't done any database programming with Java yet.

I am trying to compile some code and I get some errors:

C:\java\MySql>javac TestMySql.java
TestMySql.java:12: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Statement
location: class TestMySql
Statement stmt = null;
^
TestMySql.java:13: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class ResultSet
location: class TestMySql
ResultSet rs = null;
^
2 errors


/***************/

Here's the code:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

// Notice, do not import com.mysql.jdbc.*
// or you will have problems!

public class TestMySql{

public static void main(String[] args) {

Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;

try {
// The newInstance() call is a work around for some
// broken Java implementations
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=root&password=xxxxx");

stmt = conn.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM mytable");

} catch (SQLException ex) {
// handle any errors
System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
}
catch (Exception ex) {
// handle the error
System.out.println("An error has occured");
} finally {
// it is a good idea to release
// resources in a finally{} block
// in reverse-order of their creation
// if they are no-longer needed

if (rs != null) {
try {
rs.close();
} catch (SQLException sqlEx) { // ignore
}

rs = null;
}

if (stmt != null) {
try {
stmt.close();
} catch (SQLException sqlEx) { // ignore
}

stmt = null;
}
}//finally

}//main

}

/********/

Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks
