I’m trying to figure out how to use MySQL with Java EE 6. I’d like to work with it locally on my machine so I can get some experience. Is it possible to do this? I’ve seen this MySQL Connector and I expected it to be like a class or something, but it’s a lot more than that and I’m not sure about how to implement it. Can anyone offer any advice on where to get started? I did find one article that wasn’t as detailed as I’d hoped, but it was from 2004 anyways, so it’s no longer relevant.

    The JDBC Database Access trail in the official Java documentation describes how you access databases from Java. The JDBC Basics Getting Started page says that the tutorial has been tested with MySQL.

    You will need to install the MySQL JDBC driver (I presume that’s what you’ve linked to above) and have it on your classpath in order for the database connection to work. But other than having it on your classpath, you shouldn’t need to interact with any MySQL-specific classes from your code.
