Check the address that you are using to connect to the DB. Good chance the DB address is wrong.

Now I am getting class not found exception after a lot of struggle also I have not solved. Help me if u know. No problem with address

Let me say this real quick. You need to post your code before anyone here can help, I stopped using java many years ago. I did find something that you could use.
This help page https://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/java/connect_to_a_database_using_java_code.html

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks a lot for your response. But I am facing problem with MySQL jar file. After getting jar file, I just wrote one line Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
It is getting class not found exception. I have deleted and download jar file for several times and also checked class path also. Help me if you know.

What IDE you using? Did you add the jar file to your project ?

Hello,
You need to do the below process.
1. Download the JAR file and add it with your IDE.
2. Check your code, syntax is Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); .
3. Server must be ON.
4. Database should be connected with the IDE.
If you did not get a result then watch videos on how to connect the database.
Thanks
