I am creating a java console application that connects to a MySQL database. I have outlined below what I've done but the connection is not being established:
Things I have done:
1) I have added the mysql-connector-java-5.1.36.jar to my project bulid path.
2) I have written the code that tries to establish a connection
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?
The code is given below:
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
public class main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:1234/first","root","");
System.out.println("Success fully Connected");
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
