Setting Up MySQL/JDBC Driver on Ubuntu

with 26 comments

Assuming that you already have MySQL installed, the next step is to install the
connector driver. You can do this easily on the CLI by using the following
command:

sudo apt-get install libmysql-java

The next step is to make sure that the classpath is set. You can have this set
automatically by adding this command to you bashrc file.

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar

If you want to set this for all users, you should modify the /etc/environment
instead.

For those using Eclipse, you can also do this by going through the following
steps:

Select Project Properties > Java Build Path

Select Libries tab
Click Add External Jars
Choose the jar file, in this case mysql-connector-java.java
Once you’re done, you can test the connection using the following snippet:

import java.sql.Connection;

class JDBCTest {

private static final String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost";

private static final String user = "username";

private static final String password = "password";

public static void main(String args[]) {

try {
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
System.out.println("Success");

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Your code was giving me an SQL exception.
This is what worked for me..

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

class JDBCTest {

private static final String url = “jdbc:mysql://localhost”;

private static final String user = “root”;

private static final String password = “vision$23”;

public static void main(String args[]) {

try {
Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”);
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
System.out.println(“Success”);

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

This post saved me so much time, I was able to use your post to connect Open
Office Base with Mysql database. After sudo apt-get install libmysql-java — I
created the class path by going to open office writer
>tools>options>advanced >class path (button ) and navigating to
/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.16.jar — then restart Open Office as
it tells you.
assuming you have Mysql client and server already installed and your
database already accessible via command line.
