is mysql connector different for linux and windows?
i have deployed a web application in tomcat which accesed the mysql DB. It was in windows.
Now i want to migrate the same application to linux.
These are the following things i did.
1. downloaded tomcat for linux - jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28-src.tar.gz
2. java for linux - j2sdk-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
3. Mysql server for linux - MySQL-server-5.0.26-0.i386.rpm
For windows enviroment i have used a mysql connector for jdbc. and it was mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar. I want to know whether can i use the same connector in linux enviroment or is there a seperate connector to be downloaded?
can u provide some links which i can refer either for installs or details on this
thank you for your time.
