Hi Scott, You must register the driver first. Example :
import com.mysql.jdbc.Driver; ... public Connection getConnection () throws SQLException { DriverManager.registerDriver (new Driver()); Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root","root"); return conn; } ... -----Original Message----- From: Scott D.

I am using this statement: conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=scott&pass word=cuatro"); I am getting this exception message: database_test.DBConnector SQLException: No suitable driver SQLState: 08001 VendorError: 0 Any idea as to what the correct, connection string might be?
