I've never connected your way before. I'm using J/Connector from the MySQL site (http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc-stable.html). That way I have no problems connecting. I do it this way:
// connect to the database Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); Connection dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/myTable", "username", "password"); Works like a charm. Give it a try... -Pete -----Original Message----- From: Muhammad Salman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 11:36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Remote Connection, please help I am using the official type 4 mysql driver from www.mysql.com but unable to make a remote connection with the mysql database running on our companie's remote server. I mailed some mailing mailing lists but didnt find out the right answer yet. I am using the following code for simple remote connection test: Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance(); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://66.137.7.185:3306/prefill","prefill","jeem"); out.println("Testing Database Connectivity"); Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from state"); int i = 0; while(rs.next() && i < 10) { out.println("<h2> Output: "+rs.getString(2) + "</h2>"); i ++; } rs.close(); stmt.close(); con.close(); Your quick response will be highly appreciated. ===== Muhammad Salman Sun Certified Java 2 Programmer +92214932737 (H) +923332234828(C 1) +923332103334(C 2) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Text Pager: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work Web: http://www.jeemsolutions.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
