The Above is my sample program to connect to the Sql server to run the sample select query from eclipse.

I am getting the below error.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

    at sqlselection.Sqlselection.main(Sqlselection.java:13)

i have added the sqljdbc.jar,sqljdbc4.jar to the library. Help to fix this

Solution 1

The problem is with Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"); this line. The Class qualified name is wrong

It is sqlserver.jdbc not jdbc.sqlserver

Solution 2

you forgotten to add the sqlserver.jar in eclipse external library follow the process to add jar files

1. Right click on your project.
2. click buildpath
3. click configure bulid path
4. click add external jar and then give the path of jar

Solution 3

Refer the below link.

There are two important changes that you should make

driver name as "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"

& in URL "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433"+";databaseName=AdventureWorks2008R2"

Solution 4

download Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server which supports:

    SQL Server versions: 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012.
    JDK version: 5.0 and 6.0.

Run the downloaded program sqljdbc__.exe. It will extract the files into a specified directory (default is Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server). You will find two jar files sqljdbc.jar (for JDBC 3.0) and sqljdbc4.jar (for JDBC 4.0), plus some .dll files and HTML help files.

Place the sqljdbc4.jar file under your application’s classpath if you are using JDK 4.0 or sqljdbc4.1.jar file if you are using JDK 6.0 or later.

Solution 5

Right click your project--->Build path---->configure Build path----> Libraries Tab--->Add External jars--->(Navigate to the location where you have kept the sql driver jar)--->ok

add the jar file to classpath

I'm pretty sure this won't fix a jdbc driver ClassNotFoundException
