Adding a JDBC driver to NetBeans
Before we can connect to a third-party RDBMS, we need to add its JDBC driver
to NetBeans. To add the JDBC driver, we need to right-click on the
Drivers
node
under the
Databases
node in the
Services
tab.
We then need to select a JAR file containing the JDBC driver for our RDBMS,
NetBeans guesses the name of the driver class containing the JDBC driver. If more
than one driver class is found in the JAR file, the correct one can be selected from the
drop-down menu labeled
Driver Class
. We need to click on the
OK
button to add
the driver to NetBeans as shown in the following screenshot:
