/* Step 1: Import sql package */
import java.sql.*;

public class SampleApp {
    
    static Connection conn;
    static Statement stmt;
    
    /* Update username, password and driver details here */
    static Connection getConnection() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException{
         /* Step 2: Load Driver */
        System.out.println("Loading/Registering driver");  
       
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
         
        /* Step 3: Open connection to database */
        System.out.println("Connecting to database");
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/world";
        String userName = "root";
        String pasword = "tiger";
        return DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, pasword);
    }
    
    public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException{      
       
        conn = getConnection();
        DatabaseMetaData dm = conn.getMetaData();
        
        System.out.println("Major Version: " +dm.getDriverMajorVersion());
        System.out.println("Minor Version: " +dm.getDriverMinorVersion());
        System.out.println("Driver Name: " +dm.getDriverName());
        System.out.println("Driver Version: " +dm.getDriverVersion());
        
        conn.close();
    }
}
