JDBC – MSSQL

How to connect to your mssql database?

Connection connection = null;
ResultSet resultSet = null;
Statement statement = null;
String dbConnector= "jdbc:odbc:"; //
String dbname = "myDSNEntry";    //example - remember the System-DSN entry on your machine
String name = "user=";        //ad username after equals sign
String pw = "password=";      // add pw after equals sign

try {
   // Load Driver
	Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); 

	// get connected to ms sql server
	connection = DriverManager.getConnection(dbConnector + dbname + ";" + name + ";" + pw);
	// checking the database name
	statement = connection.createStatement();
	resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT DB_NAME()");
	resultSet.next();
	String dbname = resultSet.getString(1);
	System.out.println("Connected to database: "+dbname);
	// make query
	resultSet = statement
		   .executeQuery("select * from tablename");
	while (resultSet.next()) {
	// getString(1) ^= first Row
	   System.out.println(resultSet.getString(1) + " | " + resultSet.getString(2));
	}
	} catch (Exception e) {
	   e.printStackTrace();
	} finally {
		try {
			//close operations
			resultSet.close();
			statement.close();
			connection.close();
	   } catch (Exception e) {
		   e.printStackTrace();
	   }
	}
