Hello!
I got in trouble when writing a java application with database access in NetBeans. The following string of code:
Connection myConn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, user, pass);
throws an exception with a message:
"No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hb_student_tracker?useSSL=false"
The connection string seems to be correct, so I suspect the problem arises from the project properties. The point is I created a lib folder in the project files and placed the needed libraries there, including the mysql jdbc connector jar. I don't know whether this is the right approach with NetBeans. Maybe the connector jar is not located in that folder, so the exception is thrown. I'm using version 12.0.
