import java.sql.*;
   public class Connect
       public static void main (String[] args)
           Connection conn = null;
           try
               String userName = "root";
               String password = "";
               String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test";
               Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
               conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
               System.out.println ("Database connection established");
           catch (Exception e)
               // System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
               e.printStackTrace(); // **** this may be better ***
           finally
               if (conn != null)
                   try
                       conn.close ();
                       System.out.println ("Database connection terminated");
                   catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ }
   }You may want to change your catch block to print the stack trace for more information. I'm not a database guru, so that's the best suggestion I can make, that and to use code tags to improve readability of your code here.
