Sun.jdbc.JdbcOdbcDriver ClassNotFound

Question

This is a double post sorry, but I must have miss-clicked the wrong forum when posting originally.
sun.jdbc.JdbcOdbcDriver ClassNotFoundException
I'm getting class not found exception and I cannot work out why, code is below.
import java.sql.*; public class Main {     public static void main(String[] args)     {                 try         {             Connection c = Connect.openDatabase             ("jdbc:mysql://localhost/booksdb:3306", "root", "dbsd202");             Statement statement = c.createStatement();             ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("Select * from titles");                         while (rs.next())             {                 System.out.printf("%s\t%s\t%s\n",                 rs.getObject("title"), rs.getObject(1));             }         }         catch (SQLException e)         {             e.printStackTrace();         }      } } class Connect {     static Connection conn;     static Connection openDatabase(String url,String user,String pw)     {         try         {             Class.forName("sun.jdbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");             conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,pw);         }         catch(Exception e)         {             System.out.printf("%s\n", e);             conn = null;         }         return conn;     } }

dbOf course :)
The class name cannot be found because "sun.jdbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" does not exist.
The correct class name is "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver".
The way I found that out was actually searching through the java source code for the class, and I'm assuming that is correct as when I changed it I started getting another error: "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost/booksdb:3306
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
