I'm trying to make a connection from a java app to a MySQL database I've
created on my local PC. How can I tell the app where to look for the
existing database?
Code I'm working with:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();
Connection con =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Testing@localhost:3306", "< my
username >", "< my pass >");
System.out.println("Connection Made.");
As you can tell from this, my database is named "Testing". All I'm
trying to do right now is get a connection. Right now when I run this
code I get "Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver
Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
I'm not sure I have the odbc driver setup correctly either. I
downloaded "mm.mysql-2.0.11" but I'm not really sure how to bring it
into the mix as far as the driver goes.
Thanks for any direction.
