I did it by following the code in these instructions: JavaRanch CattleDrive JDBC Assignments I used Class.forName( "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" ); to load the driver with connector/j. And Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:mysql://localhost/drain?user=bunghole&password=plug" ); gave me a connection. [ January 25, 2003: Message edited by: Barry Gaunt ]

Getting someone to think and try something out is much more useful than just telling them the answer.
