java connectivity with mysql error
- by abson
I just started with the connectivity and tried this example. I have installed the necessary softwares. Also copied the jar file into the /ext folder.Yet the code below has the following error
import java.sql.*;
public class Jdbc00 {
public static void main(String args[]){
try {
Statement stmt;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
String url =
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql"
DriverManager.getConnection(url,"root", "root");
//Display URL and connection information
System.out.println("URL: " + url);
System.out.println("Connection: " + con);
//Get a Statement object
stmt = con.createStatement();
//Create the new database
stmt.executeUpdate(
"CREATE DATABASE JunkDB");
stmt.executeUpdate(
"GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE," +
"CREATE,DROP " +
"ON JunkDB.* TO 'auser'@'localhost' " +
"IDENTIFIED BY 'drowssap';");
con.close();
}catch( Exception e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}//end catch
}//end main
}//end class Jdbc00
But it gave the following error
D:\Java12\Explore>java Jdbc00
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Could anyone please guide me in correcting this?
