Unable to connect MS SQL server via Java Class

Question

I am getting error when I try to connect database

Error:com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection cannot be cast to
Ptakip.Connection

• Ptakip is my Package

• Connection is my Class

  Here is the Connection Class Code ;

   import java.sql.*;
  
  public class Connection {
  private Connection cn;
  
  public Connection connector( )
  {
  
  
  try {
  
      Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
       Connection  cn =  (Connection)     
    DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\\MyServer:     
    1433;databaseName=TEST;user=Glassfish;password=pass;");
  
      System.out.println("connected");
    }
  
     catch(Exception ex) {
  
     System.out.println("Error:" +  ex.getMessage());
     System.out.println(cn);
  
    }
      return cn;
  
     }
  
   } 
  

Answer 1

your class has the same name as the class in the package java.sql that's why u have this conflict ,juste try to change the name to Connexion ,it should work

Answer 2

Try to make a connection like this. it may help you

String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/"; 
String dbName = "demo” 
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; 
String userName = "root"; 
String password = "mypasswd"; 
try { 
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
 Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
 conn.close(); 
}catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 
}
