Hi all
I have had this problem for a while now! I have the native drivers downloaded i just dont seem to know how to do the connection! I place the uncompressed file in my classpath as instructed in the README, it just doesnt seem to work! I use the Connect.java that came with a sample of the connector driver and it doesnt seem to work! Pls someone should help me out and point me in the right direction from the very begining again! Thanks for your anticipated response.

Saheed,
"it doesn't work" is a bit vague in terms of us trying to help. What error message are you getting? Do you have sample code? Please post more details so we can work figuring out the problem.

Saheed!

I think you are using Dollar$one database and its sample.java file.

If you go through properly then you can understand that this sample file is just to let you know how to work in java using Dollar$one databse. You have to find out your requirements in that particular sample.java file and make new .java file and run it.

Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi
Here is a sample code i got off the internet regarding connecting to mysql and modifying it i have the following


The above code when run gives me the output of "cannot connect to database" and then gives "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" from e.getMessage()! I have Mysql installed properly and also have the native driver copied to the appropriate folder in my /JRE/bin/ext(I use a windows box)! Pls any apropriate help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
