You probably have your mysql server configured to only accept socket
connections, and not TCP/IP connections. As a rule, external client
programs use TCP/IP by default, as sockets can only be used if the db
server is on the same machine as the client program and this is often
not the case for
Thank you, Rachel, that does indeed seem to be the case. Is it not possible to
get Connector/J to use a socket underneath, if it's running on the same host?
