the last days I was trying to learn how to access mySQL databases via Java.
I am able to load the driver and get a connection to the database ( at least I think so, since I don't get an exception there..)
the code is:
import java.sql.*;
public class test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("driver loaded...");
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error in loading the driver..."+e);
System.exit(0);
}
try
{
Connection dbConnection= DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:test","root","password");
System.out.println("Connection successful...");
Statement stmt = dbConntection.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("create table Accounts ( name char(20) )");
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
System.out.println("database-ConnectionError: "+e);
System.exit(0);
}
}
}
When I execute it, it says:
driver loaded...
Connection successful...
database-ConnectionError: java.sql.SQLException: [MySQL][ODBC 5.2(w) Driver][mysqld-5.5.31]No database selected
I really don't know the problem, because I thought the database is selected during the "getConnection" process....
I tried to select a database by adding this line:
stmt.executeUpdate("use test;");
after creating the Statement.
unfortunately it didn't work because I got another exception which said I should check on the syntax. I don't understand that either because in my commandline it works just fine... I don't know if it is possible to use these type of commands via Java so if it isn't, please forgive my mistake.
I hope you can help me and I didn't miss the solution during my own search!
Already Thanks to all who reply and use their time on my problems!
ps. If I forgot to point out some important infos ( I don't think i did) please ask:)
edit: I also tried to create a new database during runtime
stmt.executeUpdate("CREATE DATABASE test;");
this actually works, but the database won't be selected either...
Firstly, I am considering my answer to show you another better way for connection with MySQL Database, it's much easier and less nu-expected Exception(s).
You need to do some steps:
.jar
to the library, or there is many tuts on YouTube).See this example below example below I made for you demonstrates how to connect and execute queries on MySQL :
import java.sql.*;
public class MySqlConnection {
private String MYSQL_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
private String MYSQL_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test";
private Connection con;
private Statement st;
private ResultSet rs;
public MySqlConnection() {
try {
Class.forName(MYSQL_DRIVER);
System.out.println("Class Loaded....");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(MYSQL_URL,"","");
System.out.println("Connected to the database....");
st = con.createStatement();
int c =st.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE Accounts (Name VARCHAR(30))");
System.out.println("Table have been created.");
System.out.println(c+" Row(s) have been affected");
con.close();
} catch(ClassNotFoundException ex) {
System.out.println("ClassNotFoundException:\n"+ex.toString());
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.out.println("SQLException:\n"+ex.toString());
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String...args) {
new MySqlConnection();
}
}
