Can a java program connect to a MySQL database?

[erebus]

I am working on a project to read in large data files with a (sun) Java program, have it find a specific data line and then send that to a database. I however am not the Java programmer and I am trying to figure out if it is even possible to write a Java program to connect to a MySQL database. Any ideas??

Thanks

Sure, you can use Java to talk to MySQL.
