This example connects to a MySQL database using the MM JDBC driver for MySQL. You need to have an account in MySQL database to run this example. To create an account, you can connect to MySQL database on your platform as root, and run the following command: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;


Connection connection = null;
try 
{
	// Load the JDBC driver
	String driverName = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"; // MySQL MM JDBC driver
	Class.forName(driverName);

	// Create a connection to the database
	String serverName = "localhost";
	String mydatabase = "mydatabase";
	String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + serverName +  "/" + mydatabase; // a JDBC url
	String username = "username";
	String password = "password";
	connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
} 

catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
 
{
	// Could not find the database driver
} 

catch (SQLException e)
 
{
	// Could not connect to the database
}
