Driver name for connecting MYSQL 5.0.5 with JAVA

[Krishna Bharati]

Hi,

Can anyone help me telling the driver name for connecting MYSQL5.0.5 with JAVA

[Cameron Wallace McKenzie]

I believe I was using com.mysql.jdbc.Driver for 5.5

Here's the downloads page for connector/J at mysql.org :

MySQL JDBC Driver Downloads

When you are using JDBC outside of an application server, the DriverManager class manages the establishment of Connections.

The DriverManager needs to be told which JDBC drivers it should try to make Connections with. The easiest way to do this is to use Class.forName() on the class that implements the java.sql.Driver interface. With MySQL Connector/J, the name of this class is com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.
