Problem using JDBC and MS SQL Server

Question

I got a problem trying to acces a database on my SQL Server. I created the table and my connection seems ok, but when i try to get some data from a table, this happens (see below).
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'players'.
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(JdbcOdbc.java:6879)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(JdbcOdbc.java:7036)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.SQLExecDirect(JdbcOdbc.java:3065)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement.execute (JdbcOdbcStatement.java:338)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement.executeQuery(JdbcOdbcStatement.java:253)
at Team.<init>(Team.java:18)
at Simulator.main(Simulator.java:5)
here's the code that i used to access the db with:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:odbc:BRAIN2WINXPPJH","sm","sm");
Statement stm = conn.createStatement();
String query = "Select * from players where teamnr = " + nr +
" order by squadnr";
ResultSet rs = stm.executeQuery(query);
any help is more than welcome
tnx

If all the tables are in the same database, you can use
Connection.setCatalog("db-name")
to change the current database. But the suggestion to include the database name in the SQL statement is safer, because you do not need to worry about changing the database at the right point.
