How can I connect to mysql database using jdbc?
Created May 8, 2012
Luigi Viggiano Use something like:
// loads the JDBC driver
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
// get a database connection
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://hostname/databaseName",
"user",
"password");
obviously the JDBC driver "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" must be in classpath. You can download it from here.
