Answer 1

Please Check whether your MySQL Server is running or not.

Answer 2

Check your MySQL connection is up or not and try changing the url as below:

String url= "jdbc:mysql://localhost/first/?useUnicode=yes&autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false";

Answer 3

You can try this approach

    try 
    {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");     
        String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/first";
        String user="root";
        String pass="****";
        con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,pass);

        String query="select name from sample_t where rollno=?";
        pstmt=con.prepareStatement(query);

        System.out.println("Enter user id : ");
        pstmt.setInt(1, sc.nextInt());
        rs=pstmt.executeQuery();

        //Process the result
        if(rs.next())
        {
            System.out.println("Roll No. : " +rs.getInt(1));
        }

        //closing connections
        sc.close();
        pstmt.close();
        rs.close();
        con.close();

    }   

    catch (Exception e) 
    {`
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
