You haven't even needed that since JDBC 4.1. Just call DriverManager.getConnection() with an appropriate URL.

回答2:

Just import java.sql.Driver and invoke DriverManager.getConnecion() to establish a database connection. You don't really need to call Call.forName() these days (java7).

Use Spring's JDBCTemplate; it's a best practice.
