Rick, Unless someone knows otherwise, I don't think the driver is included. I had to download mysql jar file from here: https://jar-download.com/artifacts/mysql/mysql-connector-java (i.e. current version is mysql-connector-java-8.0.16.jar)
Under *Services => Databases* right click on *Drivers* and select the downloaded jar file. Also, ensure to set the timezone in mysql, i.e. for MDT use: SET GLOBAL time_zone = '-6:00'; o__ >/ ( )\( ) Darin | 208-991-4421 On Fri, Jul 26, 2019 at 4:56 PM rick pizzi <pizzi...@yandex.com> wrote: > Running Ubuntu 18.04 with OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build > 11.0.3+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.04.1) > > I have installed NetBeans 11.1.
