[SOLVED] Connect to MySQL

474633Feb 15 2007 — edited Oct 18 2007

Hello,

I'd like to use SQLDeveloper to connect to some MySQL DB.

So I've downloaded the mysql-connector-java-5.0.4.tar.gz and put the mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar in a path (/opt/sqldeveloper/jdbc/bin)
Then, I configure (Tools / Preferences / Database / 3rd party JDBC Drivers) to use this folder for searching JDBC drivers

But when I want to configure a new MySQL connection, when I click on test button, there is the following message that appears in red, in the lower left corner :

Status : failure - com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I'm using Linux RHEL4 and SqlDeveloper 1.1.0.23 (23-64)
The MysQL is installed

$ rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-query-browser-5.0r9-1rhel4
mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1
mysql-workbench-5.0r9-1rhel4
mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1
mysql-gui-tools-5.0r9-1rhel4
mysql-administrator-5.0r9-1rhel4

Where am I wrong ?

PS : I also use "Tora", which should also be able to connect to MySQL DB but it is neither working. Does someone has an idea for this other tool ?
