public static void main (String[] args)
Connection conn = null;
try
String userName = "sampadm";
String password = "secret";
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/sampdb";
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
System.out.println ("Database connection established");
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
