netBeans and JDBC driver

[Netherbeast]

For some reason netbeans isnt recognizing the JDBC driver. Anyone have this problem too???

thanks in advance

Make sure that you've added the JDBC driver library.

Thanks for the reply.

How do you add the library?
Do you mean import java.sql*;

thanks in advance

no - the database specific driver, as classes14.jar for an oracle driver, jtds-... for some ms-sql-7.0 OpenSource driver, postgresql.jar for a postgres database driver and so on.

Probably a classpath issue.

thanks for the response.
I dont have the .jar files, is that something that needs to be installed as well?
The only files i have are from suns site which contain the drivers. They are .zip files only.

I dont know how to set the classpath, could you explain it real fast?

I been checking online for help as well but no one has instructions for netBeans.

Thanks in advance

You can obtain vendor-specific JDBC drivers from each db vendor - go to your vendor's site and search for "JDBC driver" or something, or go to this link, which has a list of drivers for each db :
