Re: How to set Classpath for MySQL

[david bennett]

because you dont have the jdbc driver in your class path.

see http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/using-netbeans/project_setup.html#96961 for help

then you need to load the driver before you connect to it, see below:

try
{
//Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance(); should also work.
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
}
