// Here we load the JDBC driver.

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver"); (whatever driver you need)

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

System.out.println("Unable to load driver!");

}

try {

Con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://PIAPE","sa","*****");

} catch (SQLException se) {

System.out.println("SQL Exception: " + se.getMessage());

se.printStackTrace(System.out);

}

Hi

Thanks for the help

@Moses your code works thanks man.

I Only had to do this

Code: Select all

Connection Con = DriverManger.getConnection....

Otherwise it will say Symbol not found i assume meaning a Variable Connection has not been declared.

thanx allot
