I am trying to set up a new database connection with the Driver Manager. I am setting these values:

Driver name: MySQL Connector/J Driver
Connection URL: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test
Driver JARs: C:\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12.zip
Driver class name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

The ok button is grayed out and there is a message Driver class not found. What am I doing wrong?

you grab worng driver from anywhere, probably (or database setup is wrong)
try application from this thread

When I run the program. I am getting the same problems, but I still don’t know what to do.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

if you work with eclipse add mysql jdbc jar in classpath

[smoyer]

I’m not sure how to do it.

[Haris Peco]

right click on project – choose properties – Build Path and in library tab add exetrnal jar – show to your jdbc jar

you have to add jdbc jar when make MyEclipse connection, too

Thank you. I think that I have it now.
