Connection with SQL Server: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver

I am trying to connect a little Java App to a SQL Server database using Visual Studio Code. This is my code:
import java.sql.*;
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String connectionUrl =
"jdbc:sqlserver://DESKTOP-03898L2DB;"
+ "Database=DB_PA;"
+ "User=checkou-GN;"
+ "Password=sapassword;"
+ "IntegratedSecurity=true;"
+ "encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true";
;
try {
//String driver = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver";
//Class.forName(driver);
try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);) {
System.out.println("Connected");
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
But when I run it I get this message:
cd "c:\Users\checki\Desktop\JAVA\pruebaN3\prueba\src\" && javac App.java && java App
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver://DESKTOP-033L2DB;Database=DB_PA;User=checkou-GN;Password=sapassword;IntegratedSecurity=true;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true
at java.sql/java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:252)
at App.main(App.java:16)
I've succesfully imported the connectors and the SDK as shown in the picture:
The thing is that I've tried to do the same on another computer and it seems to work fine:
The main difference for me is the command that the shell is executing: in the first case is using javac and java and in the working case is using:
& 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18\bin\java.exe' '--enable-preview' '-XX:+ShowCodeDetailsInExceptionMessages' '#C:\Users\sempr\AppData\Local\Temp\cp_9hxr1t8qo8sc8hiaiyq1qpyf9.argfile' 'App'
I don't know what the problem could be and I've tried almost everything. In Eclipse and Intelij the program works fine on both machines but with VSCode in the first machine does not work.

You are using Code Runner for the first case? Please choose Run Java button instead of Run Code button. The Code Runner will not find the referenced libraries.

The infamous java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found
(21 answers)
Closed last month.
I am trying to write a program to connect to a MySQL database in eclipse, but I get the error "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found".
The java code is:
import java.sql.*;
public class FirstExample {
//static final String S_JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
static final String S_DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/emp";
static final String S_USER = "root";
static final String S_PASS = "root";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
//Class.forName(S_JDBC_DRIVER);
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(S_DB_URL,
S_USER, S_PASS);
System.out.println("Creating statement...");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Employee";
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sql);
while (resultSet.next()) {
int iId = resultSet.getInt("id");
int iAge = resultSet.getInt("age");
String sFirst = resultSet.getString("fname");
String sLast = resultSet.getString("lname");
System.out.print("ID: " + iId);
System.out.print("\tAge: " + iAge);
System.out.print("\tFirst: " + sFirst);
System.out.println("\tLast: " + sLast);
}
resultSet.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
} catch (SQLException se) {
for (Throwable t : se) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
System.out.println("Goodbye!");
}
}
The output in the console tab is:
Connecting to database...
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/emp
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at FirstExample.main(FirstExample.java:21)
Goodbye!
I have used the MySQL Connector/J. It is unzipped in the MySQL installation directory and the jar file is added to the CLASSPATH.
Also refer to this image. There is an ! mark at the project root.image01
I get the error as in the next image: image02 when I include the 2 commented statements:
static final String S_JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
Class.forName(S_JDBC_DRIVER);

For all but the most trivial applications the CLASSPATH environment variable is NOT used. Normally the libraries are include in the Class-Path entry in the manifest of the jar, or in the -cp option of the java commandline.
In this case you need to add the MySQL JDBC driver to the buildpath of your Eclipse project.

I had the same problem. I solved it by adding:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

you can place the path like java -cppwd/mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar:. <classname>.
make sure that your in same directory where the mysql driver is .
Hope that helps .

Load Driver class just before getting the connection.
Use this code:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test_db", "user", "passw");

Alternatively you can also add the installed jar file to your eclipse project by selecting the project in eclipse, right click it and go down to properties, select the Java Build Path>>select the Libraries Tab>>Add external jar file and browse for the installed mysql-connector-java.jar file or any mysql java connector file int the /usr/share/java/ directory for most ubuntu users. Click okay and rebuild your project. Good luck

I encountered the same problem as you, but I handled it as follows:
I copied the jar, which is called mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar, into the \Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib, and restarted tomcat.
Hope that helps

Cannot connect to database Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

I am having errors with connecting to a MS Access Database (CDCollection.accdb) from Java. The IDE we are using is Netbeans. I have done research on possible solutions as to the error, but due to being inexperienced in the topic, I am not too sure how to solve it. The rest of my class are having the same problem and the teacher does no know how to solve the problem either.
My class is now in the final chapter, Learning Unit 10: Accessing a Database from a Java program, of Funworks's exploring IT: Java Programming. Grade 11.
I would post links to the three sources I have found most useful, but Stack Overflow says I need to have 10 reputation points to post more than 2 links. I have searched both Stack Overflow and the web to find the solution to this error, but those were more advanced than where I currently am.
Edit: Here are the links, thanks to those who upvoted me. The solution they suggest makes sense, but does not seem to work...
http://community.microfocus.com/borland/managetrack/starteam/w/knowledge_base/16933.error-java-sql-sqlexception-microsoft-odbc-driver-manager-data-source-name-not-found-and-no-default-driver-specified.aspx
http://www.coderanch.com/t/440574/JDBC/databases/java-sql-SQLException-ODBC-Driver
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/35018/Access-MS-Access-Databases-from-Java
From what I understand, it is due to the school computers and my laptop all being 64-bit and ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) being 32-bit. My teacher does not know how to solve this problem, as it is her first time encountering it. When the grade 11s of last year reached this section of the book, the school computers were still 32-bit.
According to what I've read, I need to go to the OBDC Data Source Administrator and, under the System DSN tab, add "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)". I noted that it was already there under the User DSN tab.
Find the OBDC Data Source Administrator at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe or Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools\Data Sources (ODBC). The first is preferable, as it seems to have more Drivers available even though the Control Panel shortcut targets the same executable file.
However, I still get the same error once I have added the driver.
Here is my code:
The DB class
package cd;
import java.sql.*;
public class DB
{
private static final String driver = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
private static final String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ={CDCollection.accdb}";
private Connection connection;
private PreparedStatement statement;
private ResultSet resultSet;
public DB()
{
try
{
Class.forName(driver);
System.out.println("Driver successfully loaded");
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException c)
{
System.out.println("Unable to load driver");
System.out.println(c);
}
try
{
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
System.out.println("Connection successful");
}
catch (SQLException e)
{
System.out.println("Unable to connect");
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
And the UseDB class:
package cd;
import java.sql.*;
public class UseDB
{
static DB db = new DB();
public static void main(String[] args)
{
}
}
For the
DBQ={CDCollection.accdb}
I have tried the full path to the file (C:\Users\\Documents\IT\Java\Databases\CD\CDCollection.accdb), using the double backslash due to the first marking an escape character. I have also tried with forward slashes (/) and I have tried without a path, as it is in the code, and placing the database in the \CD (the project folder), \CD\src (the source folder), \CD\src\cd (the package folder).
Yet, despite this, I and my classmates still get the same output every single we run the program:
run:
Driver successfully loaded
Unable to connect
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
Could I please have help? Keep in mind that my class has only just started this module today; we have only been doing Access and SQL for 1 month and have been doing Java for a year and a half.
Thank you!

I would suggest you adding a SYSTEM DATASOURCE at ODBC configuration panel. Let's suppose you name it cdcollection. Then your url variable just needs to be:
private static final String url = "jdbc:odbc:cdcollection";
Here's a a nice STEP BY STEP article on how to do just that.
Welcome to StackOverflow.

how to link java and mysql

I created a database from the command line and wrote Java code to access the database. My code prints an error on execution. Can anyone tell me how to connect the JDBC driver with Java?
import java.sql.*;
class Test{
public static void main(String arg[]){
try{
String query="select * from photo ";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb","user","password");
Statement st=con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery(query);
rs.next();
String sname=rs.getString(2);
System.out.println(sname);
con.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("error ");
}
}
}

First of all remove the space at the end of the query
String query="select * from photo ";
Next try giving the port in the url
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb","user","password");
Finally as you said its giving you java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
you need to add the mysql-connector.jar in your classpath.Get the jar from here
Well if you are using command prompt you can run like this
java -cp .;completePathOfMysqlConnector/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar className
If you are using elipse then download the jar and add it to the classpath like this
Right click on the project -> properties ->java build path ->switch to libraries tab -> add external jar then select the jar and ok you are done

1>it seems that SQL port is not assigned (default is 3306) in "jdbc:mysql://localhost"
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb","user","password");
2> should download and add mysql-connector-java to library
Hope this would help

Java connectivity with PostgreSQL

Can someone please tell me how to connect java file to postgresql database (if possible with code n explanation)

Google is a good start
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/

Here is an example test.java
import java.sql.*;
class test
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String hostname="", dbname="", username="", password="";
try {
int argno = 0;
hostname = args[argno++];
dbname = args[argno++];
username = args[argno++];
password = args[argno++];
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.err.println("Usage: java -cp driver.jar:. test [hostname] [dbname] [username] [password]");
System.exit(1);
}
try {
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
Connection connection =
DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:postgresql://"+hostname+"/"+dbname,
username,
password
);
ResultSet rs = connection.createStatement().executeQuery(
"select version() as version"
);
while ( rs.next() ) {
System.out.println(rs.getString("version"));
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Download a current driver from JDBC download page, compile this and run like this on Unices:
java -cp [driver_file_name].jar:. test [hostname] [dbname] [username] [password]
On Windows:
java -cp [driver_file_name].jar;. test [hostname] [dbname] [username] [password]

Just wanted to expound on Tometzky's answer for other beginners using the Netbeans IDE in UNIX like me.
I want the driver to be recognized as a library in the IDE. If you go to Tools->Libraries, you will see the current list. Hit "New Library" and type "PostgreSQL JDBC Driver" or whatever name you want to give it. Then in the Classpath tab, hit "Add JAR/Folder" and point to where you've saved your downloaded driver. I'm not sure if there is a "correct" place to store it, I think it rather depends on how you back up your system and if multiple users share it. Somewhere in your home directory is fine.
After that, make a new project of type "Java Application" and paste Tometzky's code into main. In your project tree, right click on Libraries and add the JDBC driver directly to the project. Now you don't have to worry about specifying the driver on the command line.
Build your project and head over to its "dist" folder. Now you can run it with the command
java -jar myprojectname.jar 127.0.0.1 [dbname] [user] [pw]
That of course assumes you are connect to the database server on your own machine. [user] and [pw] refer to your PostgreSQL username and pw.
Also, when you download the documentation it comes as a bunch of html files. Save them somewhere and point your browser to the index.html file (in Firefox it is File-->Open File).
