The Class.forName() will try to load the class that you specified as string argument. If the class that you specified cannot be found in the classpath, Class.forName() will throw a ClassNotFoundException.

I'm thinking that you're curious about the significance of this code in the context of JDBC. So, I'm moving this to the JDBC forum...

It registers the JDBC driver. Check the API docs for java.sql.Driver and/or java.sql.DriverManager for more info.
