The Above is my sample program to connect to the Sql server to run the sample select query from eclipse.

I am getting the below error.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

    at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)
    at sqlselection.Sqlselection.main(Sqlselection.java:13)

i have added the sqljdbc.jar,sqljdbc4.jar to the library. Help to fix this

Answer 1

Just Change the query like this:

SELECT TOP 1 * FROM [HumanResources].[Employee]

where Employee is your table name and HumanResources is your Schema name if I am not wrong.

Hope your problem will be resolved. :)

Answer 2

Add sqlserver.jar Here is link

As the name suggests ClassNotFoundException in Java is a subclass of java.lang.Exception and Comes when Java Virtual Machine tries to load a particular class and doesn't found the requested class in classpath.

Another important point about this Exception is that, It is a checked Exception and you need to provide explicitly Exception handling while using methods which can possibly throw ClassNotFoundException in java either by using try-catch block or by using throws clause.

Oracle docs

public class ClassNotFoundException
 extends ReflectiveOperationException

Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string name using:

• The forName method in class Class.
• The findSystemClass method in class ClassLoader .
• The loadClass method in class ClassLoader.

but no definition for the class with the specified name could be found.
