I’m currently learning some database tricks in Java and I found this nice book I’m reading.
At some point, it encourages me to try a manual database connection with the following class:
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
public class DemoSelect {
public static void main(final String[] arguments) {
// Connection parameters
String usr = "sa";
String pwd = "";
String driver = "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver";
String url = "jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/xdb";
Connection con = null;
PreparedStatement pstm = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
// Starting up the driver
Class.forName(driver);
// Connecting
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, usr, pwd);
// Writing a query
String sql = "SELECT empno, ename, hiredate, deptno FROM emp";
// Setting up the SQL statement
pstm = con.prepareStatement(sql);
// Execute the SQL query
rs = pstm.executeQuery();
// Iterating the results
while (rs.next()) {
// Simple method to show the data
System.out.print(rs.getInt("empno") + ", ");
System.out.print(rs.getString("ename") + ", ");
System.out.print(rs.getDate("hiredate") + ", ");
System.out.println(rs.getInt("deptno"));
}
} catch(final Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} finally {
try {
// Closing all the opened resources
if (rs != null) rs.close();
if (pstm != null) pstm.close();
if (con != null) con.close();
} catch(final Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
}
But when I try to run it, it generates an error with the following description:

What could I be missing?
I’m using NetBeans and I downloaded the HSQL Driver. I managed to import the .jar file to the libraries and I got the following error code:

The HSQL driver is not in your classpath. You’ll have to somehow include that driver jar file to it by running your program with
java -cp .;hsqldb.jar DemoSelect. Use ‘:‘ as a separator instead of ‘;‘, if you’re on *nix.See also the documentation.
