java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for com.timesten.jdbc.TimesTenDriver

Question

I am getting an exception:

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for com.timesten.jdbc.TimesTenDriver while trying to connect to Timesten DB installed in my system.

The code is given below:

    Connection conn = null;

    try {
        Class.forName("com.timesten.jdbc.TimesTenDriver");
        conn = DriverManager
                .getConnection("com.timesten.jdbc.TimesTenDriver");
        System.out.println(conn);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally {
        try {
            if(conn != null) {
                conn.close();
            }
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

I am using Java 5 & have attached ttjdbc5.jar in the build path of eclipse.

Can somebody help?

Answer 1

DriverManager.getConnection("com.timesten.jdbc.TimesTenDriver") 

cannot have class name as parameter, instead should have url of the DB as parameter, something like

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:timedb://localhost");

or you can use

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:timedb://localhost:3601", "db-username", "db-password");

to get connection, where db-username and db-password are username/password to connect to DB server

Answer 2

Ensure the appropriate .jar file is kept in your library and in DriverManager.getConnection() remove the driver class name as parameter and pass the appropriate URL for your database. for example if your database is SQLServer, then

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://10.3.12.59:1433,<optional parameters>","userName","Password");
