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

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");
