I have this small code :
import groovy.sql.Sql
class GroovySqlExample1{
  static void main(String[] args) {
    def sql = Sql.newInstance("jdbc:mysql://localhost/jdb", "root",
           "root", "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")
    sql.eachRow("select * from user"){ row ->
       //other code . . . . 
    }
  }
}
When I run the following code with the :
 groovy -cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar database.groovy
I get this big error:
Caught: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

Note that, I can log into mysql as :
 mysql -u root -proot -hlocalhost
Everything seems to be fine. But still I get those errors. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. Where I'm making the mistake?
