Does MariaDB disconnect automatically or Should i have to disconnect Manually?

I got to use MariaDB for my University Project.
it's my first time doing it, so I dont't know well how to use and code JDBC Driver and mariaDB.
Now I'm implementing the code in many places while looking at examples.
As I see, All the examples seems to creating Statement and making connection by using "DriverManager.getConnection"
Now I have a question.
I'm going to create a DBmanager Class that can connect, create tables, execute queries, and execute the code that updates data on tables in a single line.
I thought all the examples would run alone in one method and came from different places, so I could only try a new connection and create a code that would not close. But I have a gut feeling that this will be a problem.
Is there any way I can leave a connection connected at a single connection to send a command, and disconnect it to DB.disconnect()? And I'd appreciate it if you could tell me whether what I'm thinking is right or wrong.
The code below is the code I've written so far.
I am sorry if you find my English difficult to read or understand. I am Using translator, So, my English could not be display as I intended.
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Properties;
public class DBManager {
/*********INNITIAL DEFINES********/
final static private String HOST="sumewhere.azure.com";//Azure DB URL
final static private String USER="id#somewhere";//root ID
final static private String PW="*****";//Server Password

private String database="user";
/***************API***************/
void setDB(String databaseinfo){
database=databaseinfo;
}
private void checkDriver() throws Exception
{
try
{
Class.forName("org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver");
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
{
throw new ClassNotFoundException("MariaDB JDBC driver NOT detected in library path.", e);
}
System.out.println("MariaDB JDBC driver detected in library path.");
}
public void checkOnline(String databaseinfo) throws Exception
{
setDB(databaseinfo);
this.checkDriver();
Connection connection = null;
try
{
String url = String.format("jdbc:mariadb://%s/%s", HOST, database);
// Set connection properties.
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("user", USER);
properties.setProperty("password", PW);
properties.setProperty("useSSL", "true");
properties.setProperty("verifyServerCertificate", "true");
properties.setProperty("requireSSL", "false");
// get connection
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, properties);
}
catch (SQLException e)
{
throw new SQLException("Failed to create connection to database.", e);
}
if (connection != null)
{
System.out.println("Successfully created connection to database.");
}
else {
System.out.println("Failed to create connection to database.");
}
System.out.println("Execution finished.");
}
void makeCcnnection() throws ClassNotFoundException
{
// Check DB driver Exists
try
{
Class.forName("org.mariadb.jdbc");
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
{
throw new ClassNotFoundException("MariaDB JDBC driver NOT detected in library path.", e);
}
System.out.println("MariaDB JDBC driver detected in library path.");
Connection connection = null;
}
public void updateTable(){}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
DBManager DB = new DBManager();
DB.checkOnline("DB");
}
}

For a studying project it's okay to give a connection from your DB Manager to client code and close it there automatically using try-with-resources construction.
Maybe you will find it possible to check Connection Pool tools and apply it further in your project or use as example (like HikariCP, here is a good introduction).

Read about Java try with resources. I think that this link could be usefull for your problem.

Slow connection after connection to database with web-hosting

Heading ##I have problem with my java application with database in mySQL and swing GUI.
When I've used localhost everything worked properly. But now I would like to share project with my friend and we decided to use server hosting.
And here is a problem:
Now application works very slow, after pressing a button I have to wait a few seconds for the program to respond. Also the connection is lost from time to time. I have no idea where can I find reason for the problem... Do somebody now what is the reason of this problem?
private static Connection connection = null;
Boolean error = false;
private static String jdbcURL = "jdbc:mysql://host_name:3306/db_name";
private static String user = "user";
private static String password = "password";
MakeConnection(Connection connection) throws SQLException{
this.connection = connection;
try {
getConnection();
System.out.print("Connected to the data base in MakeConnection");
}
catch(Exception e) {
error = true;
System.out.print("Error in connection in MakeConnection consturctor" + e.getMessage());
}
finally{
if(connection!=null) connection.close();
if(error) System.out.print("Problem with connection");
else System.out.print("Program finished");
}
}
public Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcURL,user,password);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return connection;
}
}
Also sometimes application shows this error:
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

I don't see any problem in your code. The problem is probably with your server hosting. You should check the country of the host provider and measure the time required to send a request to the server. Also you should use logger instead of System.out.println so you can examine required time for actions like db access, application logic and find a bottleneck.

Connecting MySQL Database to NetBeans Error

I have a problem when running my code in NetBeans in order to see if mySQL is connected. This is the code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection connect = null;
try{
connect = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tUsers?autoReconnect=true/useSSL=TRUE","root","password");
if(connect!=null)
{
System.out.println("Connected");
}
}catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("RIP");
}
}
}
when I run it prints out "RIP". When I debugged it line by line, it went from the "connect = DriverManager.getConnection..." to "System.out.println("RIP"), and when I look at the "Exception e" it says "e = (java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException) java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: Cannot load connection class because of underlying exception: com.mysql.cj.exceptions.WrongArgumentException: Malformed database URL, failed to parse the connection string near '=TRUE'."
Now, why is that?????

I think you need to add
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); .
Also, make sure everything in Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (String url, String user, String password); are set correctly.
From the url format in your code, it's like you are trying to get direct connect to specific table tUsers in your database. And I dont think that would work. Correct me if I'm wrong whether it's literally your database name or not.
Because the basic url format i know, should be like jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/yourDBname .
If you already set the url correctly as is written in your post, then the code is
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection connect = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tUsers?autoReconnect=true/useSSL=TRUE","root","password");
if(connect!=null)
{
System.out.println("Connected");
}
}catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("RIP");
}}}
Hope that could do the work.

JAVA: JDBC Connection by URL Aurora(mysql) aws

i want to connect to a D by an URL i got to make the conections.
static Connection cnx = null;
public static Connection obtener() throws SQLException{
if (cnx == null) {
try {
cnx = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://combis.cpgtn4fi7t5t.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com/am_myDataBase", "user", "pass");
}catch (SQLException es) {
// TODO: handle exception
throw new SQLException(es);
}
}
return cnx;
}
and i can not get the connection. Is it well written the URL?
got this Error:
java.sql.SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://combis.cpgtn4fi7t5t.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com/am_myDataBase

I think, you need to do two things here that are:-
1.Load the mysql driver class.
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
2.Change the connection url like this-
jdbc:mysql://combis.cpgtn4fi7t5t.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com/am_myDataBase?useSSL=false
I hope it will work.

Use below to load driver before getting connection
Class.forName("<driver class name>");

Java connection to mySQL database

i have a database for practice at phpMyAdmin. i use XAMPP. I am in very early stages of learing about the conection with a database. I followa tutorial and i think i am understanding the concept and everything is cool. But i stepped on a problem that despite the fact that there are answers on the internet, i cant solve it. here is my code:
import java.sql.*;
public class DBConnect {
private Connection connection;
private Statement statement;
private ResultSet result;
public DBConnect(){
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:1234/practicedb"); //code stucks here and after some minutes it is throwing an exception
System.out.println("Connected");//this is never executed.
statement = connection.createStatement();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.print("Error in Constractor: "+ex);
}
}
public void getData() {
try {
String query = "select * from cars";
result = statement.executeQuery(query);
while (result.next()) {
String name = result.getString("carName");
String id = result.getString("carID");
String modelNum = result.getString("modelNumber");
System.out.println("Car name: " + name + ", " + "Car ID: " + id + ", " + "Car model number: " + modelNum);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
}
}
In the main class i create an instance of the class and then call the getData().
The code stucks in that line:
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:1234/practicedb");
And it throws that:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.java.lang.NullPointerException
This similar question was answered here: answer
But the suggestions are poor. I have tried flushing dns. I checked the URL and this is the one i connect to the database on phpmyadmin. i changed localhost to my ip adress. but all those just dont work.
I would really appreciate help. Is the first step on managing to receive that knowledge and i actually cant proceed at the moment. Thank you :)
i noticed that if i change the localhost:1234 to a random one like localhost:5432 it is throwing the error immediatelly. But when i have it on 1234(which i the port i have choosen through xampp config) then the programm runs for round about 5 minutes before it got terminated with the exception

Usually MySQL listens on the default port 3306.
If your database is named practicedb then your code should look like this:
private Connection connection;
try {
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/practicedb");
System.out.println("Connected");
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.print("Error creating connection: "+ex);
}
