Hi all,

The following code is throwing "Exception: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"

do i need to drop a driver file somewhere?

im fairly new to java, so be gentle

Help :-)

import java.sql.Connection;

import java.sql.DriverManager;

import java.sql.SQLException;
 
public class MySql {
 
  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception

  {

    Connection con = null;
 
    try {

      Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

      con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///test",

        "username", "password");
 
      if(!con.isClosed())

        System.out.println("Successfully connected to " +

          "MySQL server using TCP/IP...");
 
    } catch(Exception e) {

      System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());

    } finally {

      try {

        if(con != null)

          con.close();

      } catch(SQLException e) {}

    }

  }

}

You do not need the third slash: jdbc:mysql:///test
