How do you connect to MySQL in Java?

Answer 1

To connect to MySQL in Java, you'll need to include the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver in your project's classpath. You can establish a connection using the DriverManager.getConnection() method, providing the database URL, username, and password. Here's an example:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/yourDatabase", "username", "password");

Make sure to handle exceptions and close the connection when done.
