  • Can' t connect Java with MySQL

    My goal is to connect Java with MySQL. I found many solutions on Internet, but I always get the same mistake:
    SQLException: No suitable driver
    SQLState: 08001
    VendorError: 0MySQL works fine alone or with php.Only thing left me to think is that the installed versions are not compatible for this mysql-connector-java-5.0.4
    I don't believe that could be a reason.
    Installed versions are:
    Apache Tomcat 5.5.20 Server
    Apache HTTP Server 2.2.4
    PHP 5.2.0
    MySQL 5.2
    jre 1.5.0_11
    jdk1.5.0_11
    Apache Tomacat JK2 connector Version: 1.2.20 File Name: mod_jk-apache-2.2.3.so
    mysql-connector-java-5.0.4
    I also set connector in class path: C:\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4;C:\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar;C:\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4\src\com\mysql\jdbc
    For installation I used manulas from:
    http://apacheguide.org/jsp.php
    http://doc.51windows.net/mysql/?url=/MySQL/ch23s03.html
    Here is also a test code in java:
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
       public class Connect
           public static void main (String[] args)
               Connection conn = null;
               try {
        conn =
           DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/first_test" +
                                       "user=monty&password=greatsqldb");
        // Do something with the Connection
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        // handle any errors
        System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
        System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
        System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
       }i'm desperate, please help or tell me someone who'll know the answer.
    Thank You in advance

    hey buddy .. it seems yr code is wrong .. in getconnection () method u should also specify the port ,which u r not doing ...
    the default port for MySQL is 3306 ... see below i am giving you a sample code ... its working fine .. and dont forget to put the MySQL driver jar path in to classpath and also copy the jar into common/lib folder of your tomcat ....
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.sql.Statement;
    public class MySQLConnectionTest {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
    new MySQLConnectionTest().connTest();
    public void connTest() {
              String tableName = "portfolio"; //change as per setting
              String hostName = "10.81.9.39"; // please change for the target database ip or hostname
              String dbPort = "3306"; //change if not using the default
              String dbName = "tradingsystem"; //change as per the given DB name
              String username = "root"; //change as per setting
              String password = "password"; //change as per setting
              System.out.println("before try");
              Double data=0.0;
         Double data1=0.0;
              try {
    Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
                   System.out.println("before driver manager");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://"+hostName+":"+dbPort+"/"+dbName, username, password);
    String query1 = "select * from "+tableName+" where User_id='trader1' and Stock_Type='Equity'";
    System.out.println("quesry1="+query1);
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs1 = stmt.executeQuery(query1);
    while(rs1.next())
         System.out.println("hiiiiii for rs1");
         System.out.println(rs1);
         Quantity=(Integer)rs1.getObject(5);
         MarketPrice=(Double) rs1.getObject(8);
         data=Quantity*MarketPrice;

         i=0;
    rs1.close();
    stmt.close();
    conn.close();
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

  • Hoe to connect java with mysql 5.0

    I have installed the new Os. in that RHE-5 Os is there, now I want that java can connect ot mysql but , its not able connect with mysql so please guide me.

    1) download mysql connector/J JDBC driver from mysql.com
    2) put the driver jar somewhere where you can put it in the classpath of your application
    3) use proper setup code to connect to the database (search google, tons of examples)
    If at any step you have no clue what I am talking about, you need a good book to help you further.

  • Problems conecting java with mysql

    Hi, im workin' with mysql-connector-java-3.1.12 and
    it work on debug runtime but not when i access the
    .jar of the project.Huh?
    the code of conection is:
    try
    lass.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
    con =
    DriverManager.getConnection(url,login,password);
    con.setAutoCommit(false);This is probably wrong. Unnecessary in this case - you aren't doing any writes.
    catch (Exception e)
    OptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"error en " +
    e.getMessage());This is foolish code. You don't need Swing or a dialog box. You're printing less information than is available. Better to print the entire stack trace.
    is no problems with code, it works!!, Plenty of problems, really, regardless of whether it "works".
    You don't post your URL. That would help.
    but i don't
    know what to do about of conection in the .jar
    I apreciate some help with this, Thankkkssss!!!Put in the CLASSPATH, of course. NOT a system environment variable, either. javac.exe and java.exe ignore it. Use the -classpath option.

    By using the username root and password mysql , i can connect to mysql directly from the mysql prompt.
    Pls help me..
    I have already put the query 'access denied problem in Mysql' some day before. from the reply, i made some changes in user table(ie. set the password for [email protected].).After this change, this new Exception came..
    The structure of my mysql.user table is
    #     host                         user          password
    1     localhost                    root          68d4f47c49a579c9

    Pls help me.

    Well, at least the trace tells me that this issue is to be tracked back to the core of the MySQL JDBC driver and the Linux's implementation of JVM. It might be worth the effort to post this issue at their website/forum/issuetracker. It might also be worth the effort to tryout the newer MySQL JDBC driver 5.1, as it is written specific for JDK 6.0 (while MySQL JDBC driver 5.0 is targeted at JDK 5.0).

  • Help me out with MySQL

    I'm a beginner who's just enabled PHP and Web Server on my Mac OS X 10.5.
    But I'm stuck with MySQL. I really need some help with installing MySQL.
    It says it's pre-installed on Application > Server file, but I don't see Server File in Anywhere.
    So,I installed manually on dev.mysql.com.
    But then, I was supposed to go to usr/local file, but I don't see Local file either!
    I tried to create my own local folder and put mysql installed files in, but when I
    typed sudo chown -R mysql data/, on Terminal, it says No such file.
    Can anyone please help me install MySQL on my Mac?

    2) Find the number of sampling point and the average value of the all the sampling point.
    3) Record the sound file in a different bit rate format.
    I dont know how to go about it.I really hope you all can help me, or direct me to any resources that may help me. Your help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you very much....

    i found this coding in a website n i not very sure that i understand it.
    can anyone tell me if i can find the sample point value of a sound file with this coding (byte[] source is byte array of the sound file).

  • Need help to start with some file and text manipulation

    Hello script mavens,
    I need help with starting a script that does the following:
    -within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
    -creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
    -moves all the files into the images folder
    -within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
    -writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
    -then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
    -from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder and renames in indexX.html
    -in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
    The task is more complex but this would help me tremendously do the rest.
    If I am asking for too much on this forum please let me know

    This should get you started.
    The description of how you want to write the data isn't clear, but the rest should work (untested):
    property imageNum : 0 -- last used ImageNumber
    -- within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
    -- get the folder:
    set baseFolder to (choose folder)
    -- now get the files within it:
    tell application "Finder"
    set fileList to every file of folder baseFolder as alias list
    end tell
    --creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
    tell application "Finder"
    set imageNum to imageNum + 1
    set newImageFolder to make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:"images" & imageNum}
    -- moves all the files into the images folder
    move every file of folder baseFolder to newImageFolder
    --within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
    set textFile to (open for access file (baseFolder as text) & "images" & imageNum & ".js" with write permission)
    --writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
    write "//-" to textFile
    -- then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
    -- need more info here
    -- a blank line between each instance of the file name? or all file names, blank line, all file names again?
    -- an example, please
    close access textFile
    --from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder
    --and renames in indexX.html
    --in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
    -- the easiest way of doing this is to read the file and write a new copy with the changes - that's easier than changing it in situ:
    set indexHTML to (read file "index.html" of folder (container of baseFolder))
    set {oldTIDs, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, "replaceThis"}
    set indexHTML to text items of indexHTML
    set my text item delimiters to "imagesX.js"
    set indexHTML to indexHTML as text
    set my text item delimiters to oldTIDs
    set indexFile to (open for access file ("index" & imageNum & ".html") with write permission)
    write indexHTML to indexFile
    close access indexFile
    end tell

    Hi Dhiraj,
    String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/learn?user=root;password=";
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "");
    It seems to be your trying to pass twice of your properties details. One from through URL and another from by pasing the parameters on getConnection() method. Better to avoid to use two place in same application. and one more thing I want to confirm r u using "stable" Driver or "alpha" Driver.

  • Replaced hard drive in compaq presario cq62, need help recovering it with out disks

    Recently replaced the hard drive in my notebook due to failure of original.  Need help recovering it without disks

    If you are wanting to install the original copy of Windows it came with, you will need a set of recovery disks.
    Otherwise, you can purchase a copy of Windows to install and download the appropriate drivers from http://goo.gl/hOm3. Just make sure the copy of Windows that is installed is at least the same family of Windows to ensure that drivers are available.
    What is the exact model of the notebook and product number?
    NOTE: Do not provide the serial number.
