To add the JDBC MySQL driver to an Eclipse project, you need to follow the below steps.
The first step is as follows:
Step1: Create a dynamic web project with some name in Eclipse.
Step2: After pressing the Dynamic Web Project, a new window will open. Now give the project name. The screenshot is as follows:
After clicking the Finish button, you will get a project structure. The screenshot is as follows:
Therefore, I have a project name JDBCJarFiles and in WEB-INF, there is a lib folder. You can add JDBC jar files in lib folder. Now, paste the jar files here. The screenshot is as follows:
Now create a Java class to test if it connects to the database or not. First create a class and give class name and click the finish button. The following is the screenshot:
After clicking the finish button, you will get a window like this.
After that write the following code to test the Database connection. Here, we have database name ‘test’, username=’root’ and password is ‘123456’.
The Java code is as follows:
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
public class JdbcConnectionDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String JdbcURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?useSSL=false";
String Username = "root";
String password = "123456";
Connection con = null;
try {
System.out.println("Connecting to database..............."+JdbcURL);
con=DriverManager.getConnection(JdbcURL, Username, password);
System.out.println("Connection is successful!!!!!!");
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}The screenshot of code is as follows:
The following is the output:
Connecting to database...............jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?useSSL=false Connection is successful!!!!!!
