1. Download Java MySQL Connector ‘mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.

jar’ and keep it on

the desktop

2. Create a Java project in Eclipse IDE

 Open Eclipse IDE. Create a new Java Project and name it as “mydbproj”.

3. Configure JDBC driver in Eclipse IDE

 You need to add the downloaded Java MySQL Connector JAR in

client project’s classpath . To do this,right click on your Java Project
(mydbproj) -> Properties -> Buildpath -> Libraries -> Add External
JAR and select “mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar” JAR file.

4. Set up a simple database program

import java.sql.*;
public class JdbcExample {

public static void main(String args[]) {

Connection con = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb",
"root", "");
if (!con.isClosed())
System.out.println("Successfully connected to MySQL server...");
} catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
} finally {
try {
if (con != null)
con.close();
} catch(SQLException e) {}
}
}
}
5. Run the program ->click on Java file -> RunAs-> Java Application. You will get the
following output.
Successfully connected to MySQL server...
 2. Program to display the contents of mysql table
import java.sql.*;
public class mysql_demo{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("MySQL Connect Example.");
Connection conn = null;
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String dbName = "mydb";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String userName = "root";
String password = "";
String f1,f2;
try {
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
String query = "Select * FROM stud";
System.out.println("Connected to the database");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);

while (rs.next())
{
f1 = rs.getString(1);
f2 = rs.getString(2);
System.out.println(f1+" "+f2);

} //end while
conn.close();
System.out.println("Disconnected from database");
} //end try

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

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

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

}
}
 3. Program to insert data into the table and display the contents.
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
class JDBC_prepared_ins_ex{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
System.out.println("MySQL Connect Example.");
Connection conn = null;
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String dbName = "mydb";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String userName = "root";
String password = "";
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
System.out.println("Connected to the database");
String myusn,myname;
PreparedStatement ps=conn.prepareStatement("insert into stud
values(?,?)");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

do{
//int id=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
//float salary=Float.parseFloat(br.readLine());
//ps.setFloat(2, salary);
System.out.println("enter usn:");
myusn=br.readLine();
System.out.println("enter name:");
myname=br.readLine();

ps.setString(1,myusn);
ps.setString(2,myname);

int i=ps.executeUpdate();
System.out.println(i+" records added");
System.out.println("Do you want to continue: y/n");
String s=br.readLine();
if(s.startsWith("n")){
break;
}
}while(true);
String sql = "SELECT * from stud";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
System.out.println("The records are :");
while (rs.next())
{
myusn = rs.getString(1);
myname=rs.getString(2);

System.out.println(rs.getRow()+"-"+myusn+" "+myname);
} //end while
conn.close();
}}
