    Default problem in Derby embedded database connection

    Hello Java forum members !

    Firstly please forgive my ignorance , I am beginner in java database programming.
    I cannot make connection to Embedded derby database. This is what I did

    1)created derby database with one table using netbeans 7.1.2. And inserted some data in that table via sql command

    Now I want to read data from this database's table from a java class but I am getting this message when I run

    Errorjava.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver

    here is my code of the class

     
     
    package mypackage;
     
    import java.sql.*;
     
     
     
    public class DbConnection {
     
        Connection con;
        Statement st;
        ResultSet rs;
     
        public DbConnection() {
            connect();
     
        }
        public void connect() {
            try{
     
                String driver = "jdbc:derby:fida;user=scott;password=tiger";
                Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
     
     
                con= DriverManager.getConnection(driver);
                st=con.createStatement();
                String sql = "select * from APP.STUDENT";
                rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
                while(rs.next())
                {
                    System.out.println(rs.getInt("ID"));
                    System.out.println(rs.getString("name"));
                    System.out.println(rs.getString("fname"));
     
                }
     
            }catch(Exception ex){
                System.out.println("Error"+ex);
            }
     
     
        }
        public static void main (String args[]){
            new DbConnection();
        }
     
    }


    Please help me out , and forgive my ignorance.

    Where is the missing class? The java program can not find it.
    If it is in a jar file, put the jar file on the classpath.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    hi Norm,
    how are you doing? i found another problem hopefully will solve it, i am trying to connect embedded database but can't.
    the error i get is "java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: 'DROP TABLE' cannot be performed on 'APP.TABEL1' because it does not exist.
    and i have created this table in database.
    here is my code
     
    package db;
     
    import java.sql.*;
    public class Derby {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Connection con = null;
            Statement st = null;
     
            String url = "jdbc:derby:javaDB";
     
            try
            {
     
                con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
                st = con.createStatement();
                st.executeUpdate("drop table app.tabel1");
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                System.out.println(e);
            }   
        }
    }

    Thanks
