Question

I have downloaded MySQL driver connector for java and I add it to librairies of my project but an error occur while connecting to my database " No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql".

There's not enough information here to answer your question. Post the code on how you're initializing the driver and the connection so we can help you out. — lscoughlin, Mar 01 '20 at 11:45

In case the driver is not loaded, you can call the following statement before getting connection.

Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

If the class isn't on the classpath, this throws the same exception, and this line hasn't been needed for a long time https://stackoverflow.com/a/24657416/2308683 – OneCricketeer Mar 01 '20 at 16:36
