What is the MySQL JDBC driver connection string?

Question

I am new to the JDBC and I am attempting to make a connection to my MySQL database. I am using Connector/J driver, however, I can't able to find the JDBC connection string for my Class.forName() method.

Answer 1

Pretending your driver is in the path,

String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test";
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, "username", "password");
