hi

i am trying to connect my GUI (java applet) to mysql database to enable users to retrieve queries from the GUI...

inorder to establish connection between the GUI and mysql

i have downloaded....

eclipse version helios service release 2
mysql server 5.1
connector/J (used to connect mysql via jdbc driver)

i have installed and configured the jdbc driver and manage to connect to the database...ping succeeded

but the problem is i can see the schema but i cant see the tables in the database...

does anyone knows what is the problem and how to solve it...
your help is highly appreciated..

best regards
thanks

Its sounds like you are not specifying a database in your connection properties for example:

conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/yourdatabasename" +
"user=monty&password=greatsqldb");

yes i did specify the mentioned details but i still have the same problem
