JDBC connection code in java

Please follow the following steps to know how to use the following java JDBC connection code.

1)First, download the code and unzip the downloaded code
JDBC database connection (485 downloads)

2)Open unzip downloaded code in Eclipse IDE

3)Please modify the Driver class path with respect to your database. This code has the default driver class path for the MYSQL database. Modify step 1.

3)Please modify the hostname, port number, database name, username, and password with respect to your database. Modify step 2.

4)You also need to add a jar in the lib folder. By default jar for MYSQL database is added in the lib folder. This jar is nothing but the JDBC driver. JDBC driver must be specific to a particular database.

5)In my case, I have created a table whose name is user and this has two columns. So please create a user table in your database if you and using this code.
