MySQL drivers in Linux

Hi folks,

I'm not sure where this question belongs, but I guess it's kinda here, as it's JDBC related.

Hi guys,

I'm currently re-installing my linux stuff at the moment, and I have a split on my HD of XP & Linux.

For some weeks now, I have been working on a Sales system using the JDBC bits in Java. I'm looking to do the same in Linux using MySQL instead of Access.

Couple of things I wanna know:

1.How do I install a MySQL driver for Linux? I'm currently running Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy

2.I can create a data base easily enough, however I need to change where the file is kept. Ideally I want it in the same place as my source code for the programming stuff.

Many thanks.

Um. To answer your second question first, if you care where the file is kept, you probably would prefer an embedded database to a stand-alone DB like MySQL. Look into Derby, and also into HSQLDB.

For the sake of argument, supposing that you still want to "install" a MySQL driver, just download the JDBC driver (Connector/J) JAR file and place it in the classpath of your app.

PS Make sure you've got a "real" JVM installed, not the GCJ one. I don't know if they have a synaptic package for the Sun one yet, but download and install it if not.
