?example in the help? I couldn't find it...

Now, I'm having trouble making a connection to MySQL database.
per the help, I've followed the instructions:
1)from Project->Project Properties->Required Libraries ->
Add...->New... in the new library wizard specified the path to
mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar
2) Exitted jBuilder
3) Even shutdown the *&&%!^$(^ computer.
4) Make a new project, new frame.
5) Drop on a Database, try to set connection->
Driver: It's not there.

Any clues?

If you are using the Developer or Enterprise editions, you should have
an Enterprise | Enterprise Setup menu. In that dialog, select the
"Database Drivers" tab. Add your newly configured MySQL library here.
Restart JBuilder. Now it should work.

Used "Search" in the help for DatabaseMetaData and from there browse the
provided hits.

I quoted the code I found below..

Also, since this is pretty much standard JDBC, a search on Google should
provide a number of examples as well..

If the steps you describe above are exactly what you
did, my guess is that when you made the new project
in step 4, you did not add the MySQL driver library
to the required libraries tab. Adding it in step 1 to
some other project does not add it to all subsequently
created projects.

Thank you.

Did that (several times) - no good.

I finally just editted the stinkin' setConnection manualy.

<sigh> Just *another* item that doesn't work as designed.

I come up with *at least* one a day. For instance:

I've progressed to setting up a dataset. For a MySql database,
I have an id key field that is a tinyint(3). When I choose the "Persist all Metadata" option, if get a line in the code
of:
column1.setSqlType( --6); // minus, minus 6 ???

So, everytime I make a change, I have watch for that "gotcha".

Thanks John.

Doing it by hand is not a problem. In fact, I fired up Eclipse
to figure out what I needed.

john moore

I guess I find that odd.. There is no reason why you can not do it
"by hand" in JBuilder (that is, straight JDBC..) I do it all the time..

As far as DX.. I never use dbswing and the GUI wizards for DX.. so
I'm not familiar anymore with what code JB writes.. I mostly use DX on
backend server (Web) systems and so again, I do it all "by hand"..

Well I need more assist in coding than what I get in jBuilder.
Eclipse is a wonderful teaching tool, and besides that, I
haven't found *anything* that doesn't work as expected. What
a delight! When I can't figure it out in jBuilder and my blood
pressure rises, I cut/paste it to Eclipse and find a solution.

If you are going to use JBuilder, then you need to spend some quality
time with it. Go through all the tutorials/samples which are relevent
to your programming tasks. Learn how to use it properly, or you are
just wasting your time.

Paul,

Just a general side comment..

I think we all find certain "configurations" of IDEs more
comfortable than others.. It is a very "personal" thing. If Eclipse
seems more "natural" and usable to you...that is great! The question
is, why are you beating your head against the wall with JBuilder if it
does not work for you..???

But JBuilder does work for many others.. they and it are not better.
JBuilder just feels more comfortable to them.. (I'm one of "them"..<G>)

We are glad to help you if you really want to grok Jbuilder.. But
let's focus on that and not get into "Well, X is/does it better than Y"
type discussion.. That gets us nowhere.. (Not to mention I have no
interest in the discussion..)

John...
