Cant connect to my SQL database

Question

So I\'m having an issue connecting to MySQL with Java. Heres my code:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException         


        

Answer 1

Are you sure that the DB server is not case sensitive? I mean maybe on the DB server the DB name is WorldDb and you are trying to connect to it by using worlddb (all low lecters).. Try to use the same name or to configure MySQL to be case insensitive

Answer 2

Make sure that the database what you have mentioned in Host = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/worlddb"; i.e worlddb is correct or not. The name of the database here is CASE SENSITIVE! So, if you try to connect using a database name like "test2" instead of "Test2" , you will get the

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown database 'test2'

Also try using port number too

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/worlddb", "root", "password");

Answer 3

Write

"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/worlddb"

instead of

"jdbc:mysql://localhost/worlddb"
