I think I'm understanding this more poorly than even I thought. File|
New|Database gives me three possibles:
a. Create a new database
b. Open and existing database (which shows DocketControl as a recently
used database)
c. Connect to an existing database.
If I choose b, and DocketControl, I'm taken to a file dialog. I choose
DocketControl.odb, and all seems well until I try to access a table. At
that point, I'm asked for a password. If I enter my MySQL password for
that db, it refuses it.
If I choose c. and JDBC, I'm asked for a URL, to which I have answered
mysql://localhost:3306/customer_orders. I'm then to enter JDBC Driver
class. I do not know what is expected here. I googled for it, and found
that com.mysql.jdbc.Driver should work. It was accepted with a dialog
saying "Java driver loaded" or some such
