I wanted to know, What jars do I need to have to connect to MySQL, and Where can I download it?

I googled it but there are so many of'em.开发者_如何学Python Can somebody tell me what class DO I need to use.?

Thanks

You need the mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar (or if you want some other version, you can download that). Here is where to find them:

For an example of how to connect using mysql, there are plenty of tutorials, here's one to check out: http://www.stardeveloper.com/articles/display.html?article=2003090401&page=1
