Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi..........
Please give an idea about database connectivity in Java.
Actually i want to connect with mysql in Java. But we got an exception as "ClassNotFoundException" at sentence "Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"). This is very critical problem for me.
Please try to give reply as fast as possible....
Thanks All...

I have moved this thread to the correct forum.

Please post your code for us to look at...

ClassNotFound usually indicates that you are missing the class from the classpath, make sure you add the mysql connector to your classpath.

Download from MySQL :: Download Connector/J
Read documentation at MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 20.3 MySQL Connector/J

Enjoy!

Basically Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver") will try to find the class mentioned as a string and load it into memory.
So you need to download mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar and add into classpath.
