Hi guys!
Hey, I'm trying to make my first connection to a database. I had successfully created and connected the data base in NetBeans. Also using SQL commands I had populated my table. How ever, that's not the case when coding. I received the following error:
Unable to load the JDBC / ODBC bridge. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
This error happens when I execute the following command:
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");
I have found that the error appears when the CLASSPATH Environment Variable don't point to the *.Jar file with the driver.
I just changed to Window 8 and there is no CLASSPATH Environment Variable like I used to have on Windows XP. Do I
have to creat it? I wander, if that is the problem, what could I do if I build an application and the localhost don't have the
CLASSPATH specifying those jar files??? Also, why when I use NetBeans I don't have any problems. I haved looked on my
disc for the name org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver.jar or any thing like it, but that such a file don't seems to be any where
on my disc. Any clue? Please! Thank you very much for any clue from you.
