How do I use interact with MySQL using Java?

Question

I'm assuming I need to use Connector\\J and JDBC to achieve this, but I can't seem to 'install' Connector\\J using the CLASSPATH thing. How do I do that ? I use the IntelliJ IDE if thats relevant.

I'm looking for a way to talk to a mysql database and execute and print out a few basic queries but I'm not getting anywhere because I can't even talk to the database.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You might follow an example such as this one:

But, you might want to consider using Hibernate unless you're doing only a couple basic queries.

Answer 3

I like this tutorial because it's very detailed and thorough. Pretty much every step from downloading and installing MySQL and Connector/J to writing and running queries is covered.

Answer 4

Which version of IntelliJ?

You need to add the MySQL Connector-J JAR to your project dependencies.

Open your IntelliJ settings (the "wrench" in the top menu bar), go to "Libraries", click on "Attach Classes", and add the MySQL Connector-J JAR that you downloaded above. That puts it in your CLASSPATH.

If you still have problems, it means you don't have the driver class name right. It should be com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.
