I am probably making some obvious mistake, but I am having a problem getting a simple MySQL JDBC connection working.
I have the latest version of the Connector/J MySQL java client driver. I have a MySQL 8 server running on the local machine, and the following model JSON: { version: '1.0', defaultSchema: 'ssb', schemas: [ { name: 'ssb', type: 'custom', factory: 'org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcSchema$Factory', operand: { jdbcDriver: 'com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver', jdbcUrl: 'jdbc:mysql://localhost/ssb', jdbcUser: 'root', jdbcPassword: '' } } ] } I have the MySQL driver in my CLASSPATH. I can compile a simple test program which verifies that the class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver exists. While the test program works, sqlline does not: $ ./sqlline -d com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver -u jdbc:mysql://root@localhost/ssb Building Apache Calcite 1.28.0-SNAPSHOT scan complete in 1ms Could not find driver com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong? Using the !connect command yields a large backtrace (while probably not useful, included for completeness): sqlline version 1.11.0 sqlline> !connect jdbc:calcite:model=test.json admin admin WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by com.google.protobuf.UnsafeUtil (file:/home/justin/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java/3.6.1/d06d46ecfd92ec6d0f3b423b4cd81cb38d8b924/protobuf-java-3.6.1.jar) to field java.nio.Buffer.address WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of com.google.protobuf.UnsafeUtil WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release java.lang.RuntimeException: Error instantiating JsonCustomSchema(name=ssb) at org.apache.calcite.model.ModelHandler.visit(ModelHandler.java:277) at org.apache.calcite.model.JsonCustomSchema.accept(JsonCustomSchema.java:66) at org.apache.calcite.model.ModelHandler.visit(ModelHandler.java:200) at org.apache.calcite.model.ModelHandler.<init>(ModelHandler.java:106) at org.apache.calcite.jdbc.Driver$1.onConnectionInit(Driver.java:101) at org.apache.calcite.avatica.UnregisteredDriver.connect(UnregisteredDriver.java:139) at sqlline.DatabaseConnection.connect(DatabaseConnection.java:135) at sqlline.DatabaseConnection.getConnection(DatabaseConnection.java:192) at sqlline.Commands.connect(Commands.java:1481) at sqlline.Commands.connect(Commands.java:1355) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:566) at sqlline.ReflectiveCommandHandler.execute(ReflectiveCommandHandler.java:44) at sqlline.SqlLine.dispatch(SqlLine.java:818) at sqlline.SqlLine.begin(SqlLine.java:596) at sqlline.SqlLine.start(SqlLine.java:269) at sqlline.SqlLine.main(SqlLine.java:208) Caused by: com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver' at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.get(LocalCache.java:2051) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache.get(LocalCache.java:3951) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache.getOrLoad(LocalCache.java:3974) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$LocalLoadingCache.get(LocalCache.java:4958) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$LocalLoadingCache.getUnchecked(LocalCache.java:4964) at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcUtils$DialectPool.get(JdbcUtils.java:116) at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcSchema.createDialect(JdbcSchema.java:200) at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcSchema.create(JdbcSchema.java:136) at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcSchema.create(JdbcSchema.java:123) at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcSchema.create(JdbcSchema.java:175) at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcSchema$Factory.create(JdbcSchema.java:570) at org.apache.calcite.model.ModelHandler.visit(ModelHandler.java:272) ... 18 more Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver' at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcUtils$DialectPool.dialect(JdbcUtils.java:101) at com.google.common.cache.CacheLoader$FunctionToCacheLoader.load(CacheLoader.java:165) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$LoadingValueReference.loadFuture(LocalCache.java:3529) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.loadSync(LocalCache.java:2278) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.lockedGetOrLoad(LocalCache.java:2155) at com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.get(LocalCache.java:2045) ... 29 more Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver' at org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.createConnectionFactory(BasicDataSource.java:489) at org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.createDataSource(BasicDataSource.java:599) at org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.getConnection(BasicDataSource.java:809) at org.apache.calcite.adapter.jdbc.JdbcUtils$DialectPool.dialect(JdbcUtils.java:94) ... 34 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:581) at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:178) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:522) at org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource.createConnectionFactory(BasicDataSource.java:483) ... 37 more
