Week 12 JDBC Connectivity

The document discusses how to connect a Java application to a MySQL database using JDBC, including specifying the driver class, connection URL, username, and password, and provides an example Java program that connects to a database called IETOOPLAB and retrieves data from an EMP table. It also describes how to download the MySQL connector JAR file and add it to the classpath in order to connect to a MySQL database from a Java program.

Java Database Connectivity with MySQL


To connect Java application with the MySQL database, we need to follow five following
steps.

1. Driver class: The driver class for the mysql database is com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.


2. Connection URL: The connection URL for the mysql database
is jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/IETOOPLAB where jdbc is the API, mysql is the
database, localhost is the server name on which mysql is running, we may also
use IP address, 3306 is the port number and IETOOPLAB is the database name.
We may use any database, in such case, we need to replace the IETOOPLAB with
our database name.
3. Username: The default username for the mysql database is root.
4. Password: It is the password given by the user at the time of installing the mysql
database. In this example, we are going to use root as the password.

Let's first create a table in the mysql database, but before creating table, we need
to create database first.

1. create database IETOOPLAB;  
2. use IETOOPLAB;  
3. create table emp(id int(10),name varchar(40),age int(3));  

Example to Connect Java Application with mysql database


In this example, IETOOPLAB is the database name, root is the username and password
both.

import java.sql.*;  
class MysqlCon{  
public static void main(String args[]){  
try{  
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");  
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(  
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/IETOOPLAB","root","root");  
//here IETOOPLAB is database name, root is username and password  
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();  
ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from emp");  
while(rs.next())  
System.out.println(rs.getInt(1)+"  "+rs.getString(2)+"  "+rs.getString(3));  
con.close();  
}catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e);}  
}  
}  

The above example will fetch all the records of emp table.

To connect java application with the mysql database, mysqlconnector.jar file is


required to be loaded.

Download the jar file: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

Two ways to load the jar file:

1. Paste the mysqlconnector.jar file in jre/lib/ext folder


2. Set classpath

1) Paste the mysqlconnector.jar file in JRE/lib/ext folder:


Download the mysqlconnector.jar file. Go to jre/lib/ext folder and paste the jar file here.

2) Set classpath:
There are two ways to set the classpath:
o temporary
o permanent
How to set the temporary classpath
open command prompt and write:
1. C:>set classpath=c:\folder\mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar;.;  

How to set the permanent classpath


Go to environment variable then click on new tab. In variable name write classpath and
in variable value paste the path to the mysqlconnector.jar file by appending
mysqlconnector.jar;.; as C:\folder\mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar;.;

Exercise:
Develop java application that connects Employee Registration Form (EMP Name, EMP
Id, EMP Address, and EMP Email) with Database.
