Re: java connector/J5.1 mysql

[Willem de korte]

Thanks for your reply

I modyfied my script with your suggestions

conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/?user=shorty&password=asdfgh456");

I put the LoadDriver, MakeConnection, javac, java, mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin into one map en succesfully compiled them.

But I have the same thing (no suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/?user=shorty&password=asdfgh456 )

Are you sure the LoadDriver file is accurate ?


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 LoadDriver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// The newInstance() call is a work around for some
// broken Java implementations

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
} catch (Exception ex) {
// handle the error
}
}
}

Or is there the requirement to start the MySQL server (manually) before
proceding to the Java programming ?
