Question

My code is-

package textmessenger;
import java.sql.*;


public class Main {


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        try {
        String con = "jdbc:mysql://SQL09.FREEMYSQL.NET:3306/a5189576";
        Connection connection = null;

        Statement statement = null;

        ResultSet rs = null;
        int updateQuery = 0;

            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection(con, "user", "pwd");
            statement = connection.createStatement();
            String QueryString = "select * from names";
            rs = statement.executeQuery(QueryString);
            System.out.println("Executed");
        }
        catch(Exception ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

When I run this program, I get “Error” in the output. Where am I going wrong?
I have tried the SQL editor in NetBeans and it works perfectly fine there.
Thanks in advance 🙂

From the stacktrace you’ve now posted, You need to download the MySQL JDBC driver and include it in your project:
