Hi there, I am a beginner but am currently trying to connect a SQL database I have made in SSMSE using SQL Server 2005 with my Java front end in the Eclipse IDE.
Firstly I see many tutorials for mySQl using JDBC but not SQL, is there a reason for this or are they much of the same?
I started off by downloading the driver, which I thought was the right one;

And to test it I wrote the following code;
This gives me an exception("com.sql.jdbc.Driver")
I think I might have the driver name wrong, but what specifically should it be called as its just a .jar file called sqljdbc4
Thanks?
