    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

    try
    {
    String str = "select * from dbo.Patient_registration";
    String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://T-BAM-PC:1433;databaseName=GeneralHospital;user=sa;passw ord=godhelpme";
    Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLSer verDriver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);

    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(str);
    System.out.println();

    while (rs.next())
    {
    int id = rs.getInt(1);
    String surtname = rs.getString(2);
    String firstname = rs.getString(3);
    String midlename = rs.getString(4);
    String regdate = rs.getString(5);
    String collectiondate = rs.getString(6);
    String report =rs.getString(7);
    String age = rs.getString(8);
    String sex = rs.getString(9);


    System.out.println(id +"\t" + surtname + "\t" + firstname +"\t" + midlename +"\t" + regdate + "\t" + collectiondate + "\t" + report + "\t" + age + "\t" + sex );
    }


    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
    System.out.println("Error occured");
    System.out.println("Error:"+ex);


    }// TODO add your handling code here:
    }

    Thread moved from 'What's wrong with my code'. Please see Announcements - JDBC & Databases for forum guidelines, and please wrap all code in the code tags

    Error:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    The JVM cannot find that class - did you place the database driver on the classpath?

    Cross-post: how to install and configure sqlserver jdbc driver type 4

    Please wrap your code with [code] tags so that it is easier to read, e.g.,
    [code=java]
    // your code here
    [/code]

    It preserves formatting and provides syntax highlighting, e.g.,
    // your code here

    It will also help if you learn to use the fullstop or period character (.) correctly in order to properly punctuate your writing.

    As copeg already replied, "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" indicates the JRE is unable to find the SQLServerDriver class. The most likely reason is your class path setting and/or the location in which the JDBC driver is extracted.

    It'll be useful if you can first go through the following articles:

    With regards to sqljdbc.jar and sqljdbc4.jar, you can very easily find out the correct one to use by searching the Internet using the search term "sqljdbc sqljdbc4 difference." Example search result: Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver: Differences between sqljdbc.jar and sqljdbc4.jar?

    The MSDN forum page contains a link to an MSDN article, Using the JDBC Driver. The article contains a section specifically on setting the classpath, including the following note:
    On Windows systems, directory names longer than 8.3 or folder names with spaces may cause problems with classpaths. If you suspect these types of issues, you should temporarily move the sqljdbc.jar file or the sqljdbc4.jar file into a simple directory name such as C:\Temp, change the classpath, and determine whether that addresses the problem.
    Try the suggestion mentioned above by placing a copy of the jar file to C:\Temp, and adjust your classpath setting accordingly.

    You previously wrote,

    You said you had trouble unzipping the driver, after which you manually created the folder and set the class path. Did you eventually managed to extract the jar file into the folder?

    Finally, note also that you can start your program via command line using the "java" command, and provide it with the -cp or -classpath argument along with the path to the folder location where the driver jar file is located. This is explained in the earlier 2 articles I provided above. Enclose the path with double-quotes to take care of spaces in folder names.
