I'm using this code to test out the jdbc mysql driver:
--------------
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Class.forName(%26quot;com.mysql.jdbc.Driver%26quot;?br>
}
}
I've put the mysqljdbc.jar in the appropriate folder and set the CLASSPATH as well to .;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\mysqljdbc.jar;C:?Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
When I compile I get a ClassNotFoundException.
What am I doing wrong??
ThanksHow to configure Java mysql driver and CLASSPATH?
I cannot exactly pinpoint the problem but I think it would be a great help for you if you change your Java Editor/IDE for this matter.
You may want to use Eclipse IDE to build your Java program(s):

Eclipse have a nice way of including Jar libraries to your classpath. Not only that, it will immediately point out compile time errors upon typing!
