How do I connect to a mySQL database in a compiled application?

4 views (last 30 days)
I've written a script that successfully communicates with my local mySQL database using a JDBC driver. Here is the relevant code in the script:
javaaddpath(['C:' filesep 'jdbcDriver' filesep 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-bin.jar']);
dbname = 'abc';
username = 'abc';
password = 'abc';
driver = 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver';
dburl = ['jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/' dbname];
conn = database(dbname, username, password, driver, dburl);
Now I want to compile this and use it on a server. I've placed the driver in I've tried also tried setting the java path in javalibrarypath.txt according to this similar problem
but it doesn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion to how to solve this?

Hi,
1.) When you compile the code simply add the jar as sharred ressource and do not call javaaddpath. So compile with
mcc -m YourCode.m -a 'C:\jdbcDriver\mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-bin.jar'
and change the code to
if ~isdeployed
javaaddpath(['C:' filesep 'jdbcDriver' filesep 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.21-bin.jar']);
end
2.) When you place it on the server does the SQL Server is running on that Server as well? So is this
['jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/' dbname];
still valid or do you need a different hostname/port?
3.) What error do you get? What does conn.Message give as output when running compiled?
