No Database selected when retrieving from mysql website

Question

I have a mysql database that I am trying to retrieve from our website host (godaddy). I followed a format that seems to be right but it tells me that:

java.         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem.

Just run one more query (before your 'SELECT' statement) to connect to your database.

First:

sql = "USE <yourdatabase>";

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); 

And after:

sql = "SELECT * FROM item_master";

rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

Answer 2

Your URL for your database should include your database name. This is normally your URL followed by a "/DBNAME".

String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb";

Where "mydb" is your database name.

Answer 3

What is the value of DB_URL? As far as I am aware, the URL needs to be of the form: "WEBURL/DATABASENAME:PORT" Are you just trying to connect to the WEBURL, without specifying a DATABASE?
