    <p>I'm on a mac, running a MAMP instance of MySQL. I'm trying to use a jdbc driver to connect my java code to a database called 'test', working with a table called 'customer.' I keep getting an error:</p> <pre><code>java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:8889/test </code></pre> <p>I'm not sure if the problem is with my code, or if it's a configuration problem with the MAMP instance of MySQL, or if it's something else entirely.</p> <p>I have an initialize driver method:</p> <pre><code>public void initializeDriver(){ try{ Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); } catch(ClassNotFoundException e) { System.err.println(e.toString()); } } </code></pre> <p>And I have a connection created in the following way:</p> <pre><code>public void insertCustomer(String connectionUrl, String connectionUser, String connectionPassword, Customer customer) { try{ Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl, connectionUser, connectionPassword); Statement constat = conn.createStatement(); String query = "INSERT INTO customers (customer_id, email, deliverable, create_date) VALUES (" + customer.id + ", " + customer.emailAddress + ", " + customer.deliverable + ", " + customer.createDate + ")" ; constat.executeQuery(query); conn.close(); } catch(SQLException e){ System.out.println(e.toString()); } } </code></pre> <p>And I have downloaded mysql-connector-java-5.1.20 and set it in my classpath.</p> <p>If anyone has any suggestions for how I could correct this error, I would be really grateful!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
