I'm trying to connect to a SQL database I set up using SQL 3.23. If possible I would like to see some JAVA code on how to connect to a database with examples of Class.forName("?????"), and anything that goes between the try block. Also, what String goes between the quotation marks. Is that the name I gave the System DSN in Microsoft ODBC? If not is there any other drivers that anyone could recommend instead of Microsoft's ODBC or is that good enough for connecting to a database? If so where can I get these drivers? Please provide a link to the web cite. Well that's it for now and thanks to anyone who can help me.
