I'm trying to make a connection from a java app to a MySQL database I've created on my local PC. How can I tell the app where to look for the existing database?
Code I'm working with: Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance(); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Testing@localhost:3306", "< my username >", "< my pass >"); System.out.println("Connection Made."); As you can tell from this, my database is named "Testing". All I'm trying to do right now is get a connection. Right now when I run this code I get "Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". I'm not sure I have the odbc driver setup correctly either. I downloaded "mm.mysql-2.0.11" but I'm not really sure how to bring it into the mix as far as the driver goes. Thanks for any direction.
