Posted on 11 March 2010 by Abidoon
Can anyone tell me about how to make use of JDBC in a java application.
Please tell me in detail about the softwares i need to install and configurations that i will have to make. I am having JDK 1.6 installed on my computer and don’t have mysql. Please tell in detail about the steps that i need to follow.
Download mysql community server from:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#downloads
choosing the right operating system.
Install it.
Then download connector j (i.e the mysql jdbc driver)
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html
Put the jar in the classpath.
You are ready to develop java application that interacts with mysql.
see also jdbc connector j documentation
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-j.html
You need to have
mysql-connector-java-5.0.8.jar
get the same

Hope this helps
