I am not sure if a Java JDBC error is appropriate for this list or not. If not, I apologize in advance.
I'm getting the error below that I'm trying figure out where to start researching... "Invalid authorization- access denied for user"... This seems strange b/c I'm using "root" as username, "secret" is password. I'm able to log into mysql using that info so I'm not sure why I don't have access to this particular table. I was under the impression that the "root" user in MySQL had permissions to all tables... hmmmmmmm.... [my code is below if anyone is interested- i know it's not very exciting- i'm very new to both Java & MySQL] [lfindle@localhost java]$ javac TestMMDriver.java [lfindle@localhost java]$ java TestMMDriver java.sql.SQLException: Invalid authorization specification: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) at java.lang.Throwable.fillInStackTrace(Throwable.java:native) at java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java:38) at java.lang.Exception.<init>(Exception.java:24) at java.sql.SQLException.<init>(SQLException.java:22) at org.gjt.mm.mysql.MysqlIO.init(source file unknown:line unknown, pc 0x829148e) at org.gjt.mm.mysql.Connection.connectionInit(source file unknown:line unknown, pc 0x826044b) at org.gjt.mm.mysql.jdbc1.Connection.connectionInit(Connection.java:92) at org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver.connect(source file unknown:line unknown, pc 0x824eab1) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:61) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:49) at TestMMDriver.main(TestMMDriver.java:35) Any suggestions on where to research these errors would be most appreciated...
