JDBC x getConnection

Question

I�m using eclipse and when I was using the jdbc.odbc.jdbcodbcDriver a message error said that the driver was not found.
Now I have downloaded the sql driver....and I did:
public void stabilishConection()
          try
               Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:myBase", "", "");
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
     }The message that appears is: no suitable driver at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
I have set the classpath correctly....
I�m a begginer and I�m just trying to create my first program..but I�m trying this for a long time and it�s not working...
Do I have to create a dataBase file before running the program??

Answer 1

I really don�t know what�s going on...but after I
read the tutorial....
The part that teachs how to connect doesn�t give any
further niformation....
I don�t have a mysql database on my machine...
...as I told before I�m a begginer in this subject...Okay let's try again.
In order to use JDBC you need all of the following.
1) A relational database system.
2) A database.
3) A JDBC driver that will connect to the above.
You only have the driver. That's a problem. You are trying to connect to something that doesn't exist so we need to get that solved first.
What OS are you running? I am asking because you need to use a database and if you are running Windows and have Access than that will be easiest.
Please let me know what OS you are running and if you have Access.
