Are you using ODBC or not? What is the error then if your code is giving errors , if not , how do you deduce that its not connecting. Perhaps the finer details are relevant.

Why is everyone bringing the ODBC up?? The OP mentioned his database is MySQL, and he never wrote ODBC, nor does he need to use it.

What he needs to do is be more specific, here. It's not hard to connect to a database in Java.

Perhaps the dude may have used ODBC and he may have omitted adding the data source name and all.

However , the bottom line is that for clarirty's sake, the experts and fellow members need the finer details

Yes, don't mention ODBC. Here is the home page for Connector/J documentation:

Connector/J is what needs to be mentioned. It is MySQL's JDBC driver.
