I am also using MySQL database but not for Web Application. For a general application. This is my step:



1. Download the MySQL JDBC Driver from MySQL.com, or ask GOOGLE and he will definitely answer.


2. Insert the .jar file to the project library. I do this by right-click in Libraries tree, choose ADD JAR file


3. use this code:





Class.forName(com.jdbc.mysql.Driver).newInstance;
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydata?user=me&password=secret");
Statement stat = conn.createStatement();






and the statement is ready to use.

Sorry for any error....
