Ok, if you want to use MyODBC through jdbc-odbc bridge then you need to
specify the DSN name as the url in the getConnection method. Here is the
simple procedure:
-- Create MyODBC DSN name as 'mydsn'
-- Load the jdbc-odbc bridge driver using
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
-- Attempt to connect to MySQL server by loading MyODBC
String url = "jdbc:odbc:mydsn";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"localhost","");
Will do the work for you. If the getConnection method fails, catch the
exception and based on the exception alter your DSN entries.
Hope this helps you
Regards, venu
