Don't even think about mentioning ODBC when you're talking Java. JDBC-ODBC bridges were useful once, when we didn't have proper drivers but they should be considered a crime against humanity nowadays :-)

What you want is a type-4 (pure Java) JDBC driver and the "official" one is MySQL Connector/J.

That page also has links to a short JDBC Basics course and a more in-depth one, for your education.
