Java MySQL Database Application

This is a simple Java application that demonstrates how to connect to a MySQL database using JDBC. The application connects to a local MySQL database, performs database operations (such as querying or updating), and handles SQL exceptions.

Features

• JDBC Connection: The application establishes a connection to a MySQL database using the JDBC driver.
• SQL Queries: Interacts with a MySQL database, potentially allowing data manipulation and retrieval.
• Exception Handling: Catches and handles SQL and ClassNotFound exceptions.

Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK): Version 8 or above.
• MySQL: Ensure MySQL is installed and running locally.
• JDBC Driver: The MySQL JDBC driver (com.mysql.jdbc.Driver) must be included in the project.
• Database Setup: A MySQL database with the schema v_project and user credentials as defined in the code.

How to Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sarveshdesai/java-mysql-app.git

2. Install MySQL and create the required database:

   CREATE DATABASE v_project;

3. Modify Database Credentials: Update the following line in the App.java file with your MySQL username and password:

   Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/v_project", "root", "1234");

4. Compile the Java program:

   javac App.java

5. Run the application:

   java App

Code Overview

The main steps in the program include:

• Loading the JDBC driver:

  Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

• Connecting to the database:

  Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/v_project", "root", "1234");

• Handling Exceptions: Proper handling for ClassNotFoundException and SQLException is implemented:

  catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
