Hey, I'm kind of new to this but, I have, I think, a simple question:

I have a MySQL database. I want a Java App to connect to it, write to it, etc...

I have my code written all right except I get an error in connecting. I have a MySQL database and a standard Odbc driver but I think I have the data within the forName() method wrong.

I've been looking for where to find the Driver name (like Jdbc:Odbc:myDriver for example) but I don't know where to get that, if anyone could help point me in the right direction that would be really awesome.

Tks!

This is Baes again, I had someone help me figure it out -
I had the Jar file in the wrong location (the JDBC connector), I just kind of guessed the correct name for the Driver.
So for progencies sake (if any are as thick skulled as me)
you can either change the enviroment variables or just move the Jar file into your jre/lib file.

Anyway, there you go.

well,java APP connects databases needs JDBC,take Mysql for example,"Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"); "
