Accessing MySQL on NetBeans using JDBC, Part I: Create a connection

Java, NetBeans December 5th, 2007
Introduction
This tutorial show you how to use NetBeans to connect MySQL by using MySQL Connector/J, MySQL AB’s JDBC Driver for MySQL.
I’ll divide into 2 parts:
1. Part I : Create a connection

This part which you’re reading shows about how to establish a connection between NetBeans and MySQL.
2. Part II : Perform SQL Operations
This part show how to perform some basic operations from NetBeans to MySQL. For instance, send querys as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE to
a database.
Requirements
MySQL Connector/J, licensed under the GPL or a commercial license
from MySQL AB.
NetBeans with JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
Step-by-Step guide
1. Installation
Install NetBeans.
Download MySQL Connector/J, name ‘mysql-connector-java-5.0.6.zip’. (The file name may differs depends on the version if
you’ve downloaded from the Official Site at here.)
Extract the zip file to a folder, you’ll see file ‘mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar’ which is the library file that we want. Just
copy the file to the library folder, for example to “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\lib” directory.
2. Add JDBC Driver to the project on NetBeans (Add a library).
Next, I create a new Java project on NetBeans named ‘TestMySQL’ and add ‘mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar’ that I’ve just
extracted from previous step to the project’s library.
1. Create New Project called TestSQL.
2. In Projects window, right click the project name and select Properties.
3. Project Properties window appears. The Categories on left side, select Libraries. And on right side in Compile tab, click Add
JAR/Folder.
4. New Window appears, browse to the file ‘mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar’ and click Open.
5. You’ll see the .jar file was added to the project. Click OK to finish.
Note: You should keep mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar in the directory that you won’t delete it (ex. not in temp folder).
May be in the same directory that keep common library files. If you delete the file without delete a link from the project, the
project will show error about missing library.
3. Connect to the database.
Now I’m going to write some code to connect to MySQL database. I have configured MySQL service on localhost.
1. I’m going to use Connection and DriverMapper Classes so I need to import libraries.
import java.sql.*;
2. I’ll connect to MySQL Server on local machine, the mysql database(a default database in MySQL). In main method, add the
following code.
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mysql?" +
"user=root&password=123456";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("SQL Exception: "+ e.toString());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cE) {
System.out.println("Class Not Found Exception: "+ cE.toString());
}
The code explanation:
Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”); means load the MySQL driver.

“jdbc:mysql://localhost/mysql?” + “user=root&password=123456″; is a connection string that tells to connect MySQL on
localhost, select database named ‘mysql’ and user/password for MySQL server.
If you would like to connecto to other database, simply change text ‘mysql’ after ‘localhost/’ to your database name.
3. Compile and run the project. If no error occurs, it means that the connection has established successfully.
Next part, I’ll show to how to perform some basic SQL operations to MySQL.

hi
i’m doiong a basketball scoreboard with it control panel on javabeans so any idea about how to connect a java application to mysql! not

hey all thank for your help!!!! i did the link according 2 this article and itis working..
i have another question: Does anyone know how can i connect 2 different GUIs, i want 2 link a control panel with it corresponding
basketball scoreboard, i want the data to change on scoreboard each time i change it from the soreboard..
Thank you

January 5th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
sorry i want the data to change on the scoreboard each time i change it from the control panel.. :):)
7. linglom Says:
I’m not sure that I understand your question correctly. If you have data displayed on more than 1 output, I suggest using Timer to
periodically update your data on each output.

Thank u Linglom!! the thing is i want to update the scoreboard each time i have an action performed on the control panel. I’m
connecting the control to a database implemented on MySQL and i want the scoreboard to retieve data from the database each time i
modify them from the control. this project is what we call an MVC model( Model View Controller)any IDEAs??????
Thank u again for ur help..
9. Alan Says:
February 14th, 2008 at 12:50 am
Thanks for the example. For some reason I received the message: “SQL Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user…”. I
then reformatted the getConnection to be in the form of 3 arguments like this:
String connectionUrl = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/”;
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl, “User”, “Password”);
where “User” and “Password” were registered in the MySQL server, and it connected fine. Also, I don’t have a db yet, so I left out the
db name.
Thanks again for taking the time to post your example.
10. linglom Says:

To Soleil Farah,
Sorry for late answer. You can implement Timer class to refresh your data on scoreboard on every x seconds.
// create a timer, xxxx is time in millisecond

Timer timer = new Timer(xxxx, new ActionListener( {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

//refresh your scoreboard
}
}
// start the timer
timer.start();
To Alan,
Thank you for sharing.

How can we hide the database username and password in the source code.
16. linglom Says:

June 5th, 2008 at 8:54 am
If you’are using SQL Authentication method as in my example, you have to store username and password somewhere in the program
maybe in code or external configuration file.
Another way, you can use Windows Authentication method which authenticate by using the current user’s credential (user that execute
the application) so no need to specify username and password in application.

Hello, I’m a completely new to Java and netbeans, I downloaded the MySQL Connector J 5.1.6 and added the address of the file in my
CLASSPATH `enviroment variables`(I’m using Windows XP) , but Netbeans wasn’t able to load the drivers to connect to MySQL.
Any idea why?
I have followed your example and it works very well. So just would like to know why this is not working with the CLASSPATH method out
of curiosity!
Thank you
Arnaud
18. linglom Says:

June 20th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Quote from NetBeans 5.5 Doc,
“You have to set an explicit classpath in your build scripts because the IDE ignores your environment’s CLASSPATH variable whenever it
runs Ant”
Reference: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/using-netbeans/project_setup.html
on Managing the Classpath in Free-form Projects -> Specifying the Classpath for Project Sources

Hello people, just to inform you all, what is in this tutoriel are the basics…because to use a database in java you must includes the jdbc
driver for the corresponding database server in the application classpath.
I’m facing a problem which can’t let me remotely connect to MySQL i-e:I have an application installed on different employee computers
and the database installed on a server. So i have to enable remote connection for all IP addresses to my mysql instance…any idea please?

30. Budhi Says:

It is OK if i used jdbc:mysql://localhost:port/dbname but it always fails when I used jdbc:mysql://ip_address:port/dbname
Why ? It almost 1 week i’m searching for solution, but I can’t get one.
31. arc Says:

January 3rd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Budhi you have only 3 solutions:
1) use SSL
2) enable remote connections on your host (phpadmin, cpanel)
3) use different environment (eg. php+mysql)

Netbeans 6.5 provides a very simple way for connecting to a database. Though I can’t seem to locate the connection object to execute
queries on :/
Have you tried it?
35. linglom Says:

Hi, T
I have tried that but I can’t remember much. I think it’s not flexible as coding by self.

57. linglom Says:

Hi, Hareesh
If you are still referencing to the ResultSet object, do not close the Statement object yet. For this example, move the code
“stmt.close();” to the bottom after the do-while loop should fix the problem.

59. Atheer Says:

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
God bless you.
60. linglom Says:

Hi, pkmnambiar
You don’t need to place the jar file on java folder. You can place any folder you want because you will browse to the file later by
yourself.
For Linux, the default java path should be /usr/bin/java.

73. linglom Says:

January 22nd, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Hi, Alvin
It seems that you have 2 problems:
1. Communications link failure due to underlying exception

2. Connection refused: connect
For the first problem, I suggest you follow this thread:
CORRECT SOLUTION: Communications link failure due to underlying exception
For the second problem, try to change the hostname in the connection string to ip address, try both 127.0.0.1 and your network ip
address.
Hi, Nissy
I’m not have experience with mobile application. But I think the code for mobile application should be simialr with this example.

Sir,
I was terrible upset for I was not able connect to Oracle DB using netbean. Your lesson part one and two has given me breather and I am
so happy that I am able to connect to Oracle. Your style creating a class with a connection method, object creation to get connection is
excellent.
Thank you very much Sir.
God bless you Sir.

String url = “jdbc:mysql://” + serverName + “/” + mydatabase; // a JDBC url

String password = “123456″;

Class.forName(driverName);
System.out.println(“pass class.forName”);
// Create a connection to the database
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
System.out.println(“pass Connection”);

108. lunar Says:

Hi, i found the reason. When i installed Netbean, i set it link to jdk 1.6. But, jdk of my debian is the version 1.5. So, when i built to jar
file and run , it’s not worked in jdk 1.5.
I updated jdk to version 1.6 and it’s worked !
