com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsExce

Question

I'm working on getting my database to talk to my Java programs.

Can someone give me a quick and dirty sample program using the JDBC?

I'm getting a rather stupendous error:

Exception in thread "main" 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.

Answer 1

If you are using WAMP or XAMP server to install mysql database. Then you have to explicitly start mysql sever other wise it will show com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure while connecting with database

Answer 2

Download MySQL-JDBC-Type-4-Treiber (i.g. 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.11-bin.jar' from 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.11.zip') at Mysql.

You need to inculde the driver jar during compile- and runtime in your classpath.

Class.forName( "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" ); // do this in init
// edit the jdbc url 
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:mysql://MyDbComputerNameOrIP:3306/myDatabaseName", username, password );
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery( "select * from table" );

Answer 3

I was facing the same problem while i was starting my application,

Caused by: 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.

The issue was that in the mysql file /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf, the configuration was like that

[mysqld]
pid-file        = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
datadir         = /var/lib/mysql
log-error       = /var/log/mysql/error.log
# By default we only accept connections from localhost
bind-address    = 127.0.0.1
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0

So as we can see that bind address is pointing to the 127.0.0.1, so for starting your application, a simple solution is that we can use the jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/pizzeria instead of jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/pizzeria which will connect the mysql to the application or another solution is that you can check and change the mysql configurations to default.Both solution can work. I hope it will work for you guys too.

Answer 4

I got the same error because I was trying to run my program without starting mysql server.

After starting the mysql server, everything went right.

Answer 5

I had the same problem, and here's how it was fixed:

1. My .jsp was calling attributes that I had not yet defined in the servlet.
2. I had two column names that I was passing into an object through ResultSet (getString("columnName")) that didn't match the column names in my database.

I'm not exactly sure which one fixed the problem, but it worked. Also, be sure that you create a new Statement and ResultSet for each table query.

Answer 6

My firewall was blocking post 3307 which my MySQL listening on. So I changed port from 3307 to 3306.Then I can successfully connect to a database.
