Hi,

you can use the jdbc drivers prodived by MySQL or use persistency
frameworks like hibernate.

Honestly, you do not provide enough details about what you want to do.
Do you need to connect from a program you are writing? Do you want a
database "browsing" tool to inspect your db? Etc?

Help us help you - give details of what you're trying to achieve.

Hi there, Thanks for your reply. What i want to do is, I have a java program
that connects to the MySql database, and retrieve some records from the
table. I would like also to be able to update records in the the tables.(
Running the program through the command line window works fine, the
connection is established and the records are retrieved) but comming to
eclipse, it is just giving me the following error.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Ok, this does not sound like a problem with Eclipse.

You have to download a JDBC driver for MySQL, and you have to put it in
the classpath of your project. To put it in the classpath in Eclipse,
right-click your project, choose Properties in the pop-up menu, go to Java
Build Path, go to the tab Libraries, and click on the button "Add JARs"
(if the JAR file with the driver is in your project) or "Add External
JARs" (if you have the JAR file somewhere outside your project).

Then add the JAR file with the JDBC driver.

Hi,

my problem is not far away from the topic of this thread. That's why i try
to post it here.

I have a plug-in that has the option to store data in a database, that is
not known at development time. The user of the plugin has to declare the
driver and the URL for the connection. That means the jar file has to be
added to the classpath at runtime. Who can i manage this?

Thanks
Harald

My need was to connect with java and any database which can be connected
with a jdbc driver. I managed it in the meantime by writting my own
DriverManager and using an URLClassLoader. Like the tool squirrel does.

Thanks for your help.
