Jdbc for mySql Database

Question

I want to connect to MySql Database. My program Source is :
import java.sql.*;
@SuppressWarnings({"ALL"})
public class test {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException, IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:odbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306, "root", "edlovema1017");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE users");
There is an error when my program is running.
this error :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Answer 1

1) How do you compile that?
in
getConnection ("jdbc:odbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306, "root", "edlovema1017");closing " is missing for the first parameter
2) why jdbc:odbc:mysql not just jdbc:mysql ?
3) as sabre150 stated, use
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")instead of
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();4) NEVER leave connection opened - add con.close() at the end
5) Specify the database name, e.g.
getConnection ("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mydb", "root", "edlovema1017");6) good luck
