SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost:1527
(19 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am trying to create a new SQL database with this Java program
import java.sql.*; //Needed for JDBC classes
public class BuildPhonebookDB {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
//Create a named constant for the URL
final String DB_URL = "jdbc:derby:Phonebook;create=true";
try {
//Create a connection to the database.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL);
//Create a Statement object.
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
//Create the Entries table
stmt.execute("CREATE TABLE Entries (" +
"Name CHAR(20)"+
"Number INTEGER)"
);
System.out.println("Database Connected");
//Close the connection
conn.close();
}
catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
When I try to run the program I get an error that:
No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby:Phonebook;create=true
I have looked at various other similar posts on Stack Overflow, such as this one, but none help. I have seen things about a driver jar, but I don't know what this is, if I need to edit this, could someone help me through it?
Thanks for any help
Did you see this guide and have you complited all step of this guide?
Apache Derby
Download Derby Download the binary Apache Derby distribution from the
Derby web site at http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.
These tutorial instructions use version 10.12.1.1 and assume you
downloaded one of the binary distribution files listed in the table
below:
Operating System Download File Windows db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.zip
UNIX, Linux, and Mac db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.tar.gz If a more recent
release is available, download that, then substitute that version
number for 10.12.1.1 in the following instructions.
Install Derby Choose the directory into which you want to install the
Derby software. You must have write permissions to this directory. The
sample instructions below use C:\Apache for Windows and /opt/Apache
for UNIX; be sure to use your actual location. Copy the software
distribution to the location you choose, then extract it as shown
below.
Windows (use your extraction tool e.g. WinZip -- these instructions
use mks unzip):
mkdir C:\Apache copy db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.zip
> C:\Apache cd C:\Apache unzip db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.zip
UNIX:
mkdir /opt/Apache cp db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.tar.gz /opt/Apache
> cd /opt/Apache tar xzvf db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.tar.gz
In both cases, the software will now be extracted into a subdirectory
named db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin.
Set DERBY_INSTALL Set the DERBY_INSTALL variable to the location where
you installed Derby. Examples are shown below, but be sure to use the
actual location on your system:
Windows: C:\> set DERBY_INSTALL=C:\Apache\db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin
UNIX Korn Shell:
$ export
> DERBY_INSTALL=/opt/Apache/db-derby-10.12.1.1-bin
Configure Embedded Derby To use Derby in its embedded mode set your
CLASSPATH to include the jar files listed below:
derby.jar: contains the Derby engine and the Derby Embedded JDBC
driver derbytools.jar: optional, provides the ij tool that is used by
a couple of sections in this tutorial You can set your CLASSPATH
explicitly with the command shown below:
Windows:
C:\> set
> CLASSPATH=%DERBY_INSTALL%\lib\derby.jar;%DERBY_INSTALL%\lib\derbytools.jar
;.
UNIX:
$ export
> CLASSPATH=$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derby.jar:$DERBY_INSTALL/lib/derbytools.jar:.
...
Step 3: Embedded Derby
When an application accesses a Derby database using the Embedded Derby
JDBC driver, the Derby engine does not run in a separate process, and
there are no separate database processes to start up and shut down.
Instead, the Derby database engine runs inside the same Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) as the application. So, Derby becomes part of the
application just like any other jar file that the application uses.
Figure 1 depicts this embedded architecture.
Set the environment
To set up the environment, follow the "Configure Embedded Derby"
instructions.
Use this before you get the connection from the driver:
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver").newInstance();

I am in the process of getting a third-party JDBC driver (Snowflake) configured in SQL Dev, but running into issues. I am unsure how to get paths set in Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Drivers. I noticed on a few posts that this is related to the CLASSPATH env variable, but this didn't seem to work (the field was blank in the related window, attempting to load from the Connections tab gave the error: Could not initialize class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver).
I created the new connection by modifying the connections.json script in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Romaing\SQL Developer\systemversion\o.jdeveloper.db.connection directory. This works, as it to populates in the connections tab after completion. Currently this script is in PowerShell, apologies I do not know Oracle applications well:
$TestPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('CLASSPATH', 'Machine')
If ($TestPath.Contains('C:\Oracle\sqldeveloper\jdbc\jdbc-proxy.jar'))
{
Echo "Path Environment Variable already set. Skipping creation."
}
else
{
$path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('CLASSPATH', 'Machine')
$newpath = $path + ';C:\Oracle\sqldeveloper\jdbc\jdbc-proxy.jar'
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("CLASSPATH", $newpath, 'Machine')
}
If ($TestPath.Contains('C:\Oracle\sqldeveloper\jdbc\snowflake-jdbc.jar'))
{
Echo "Path Environment Variable already set. Skipping creation."
}
else
{
$path2 = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('CLASSPATH', 'Machine')
$newpath2 = $path2 + ';C:\Oracle\sqldeveloper\jdbc\snowflake-jdbc.jar'
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("CLASSPATH", $newpath2, 'Machine')
}
Here is a link to the process I am attempting to accomplish (different driver): https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-a-jdbc-driver-in-oracle-sql-developer/
You're not going to succeed here. SQL Developer only allows specific 3rd party JDBC drivers, and Snowflake isn't one of them.
Sybase ASE, SQL Server, Teradata, DB2 LUW, AWS Redshift, and MySQL are all allowed. We're working on PostgreSQL for formal migration support, the driver/connections should work already.
Trying to connect to a HSQLDB Java database using python 3.7, jaydebeapi, and jpype. I tried the following
import jaydebeapi
UserName = "SA"
Password = ""
Java_Class = "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
HSQL_Driver_Path = "/Hsqldb/driver/hsqldb.jar"
Database = "jdbc:hsqldb:/Hsqldb/database/OneDatabase"
jaydebeapi.connect(Java_Class,Database,[UserName,Password],jars=HSQL_Driver_Path)
and it resulted in the following error
java.lang.RuntimeExceptionPyRaisable: java.lang.RuntimeException: Class org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver not found
google states that this is a classpath error and I need to add a class path to fix.
edit: Details of setup: Mac, anaconda, python 3.7
I tried something similar in R using the RJDBC library and was able to connect just fine.
PathDriver = "/Hsqldb/driver/hsqldb.jar"
JDBCDriver = "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
drv <- JDBC(JDBCDriver,PathDriver)
# Connect to Database
DatabaseP <- "jdbc:hsqldb:file:////Hsqldb/database/OneDatabase"
Con <- dbConnect(drv,DatabaseP,"SA","")
edit: Details of setup: Mac, R, Rstudio
I separated R from Anaconda as Anaconda was blocking many of the libraries I wanted to use.
This is probably apples to oranges, but why does python need a classpath set when R performs the function just fine? and how does one set a class path for HSQLDB for python?
When starting JPype it either takes the classpath from the environment variable CLASS_PATH or from a manually specified classpath defined using the jpype.startJVM(classpath="...") command. This command is likely part of the jaydebeapi api if you don't have to call it directly from JPype.
I assume that R defines its own classpath internally so there may just be differences in the what is being seen from the JVM. This could include a different JVM is being selected, the classpath including different locations, or in some cases if the driver has a native portion such as MS SQLServer the library path may also not be correct. In order for the JDBC driver to load all piece need to be found including the jar, support jars and native shared libraries. If all else fails manually try to load the java class using Class.forname. It may provide you with further diagnostics as to which piece is missing.
I receive the following error msg when attempting to connect to a derby network server:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost/studentdb;create=true
Derby is properly installed and all environment variables set. I am able to start the derby NetworkServerControl from a Windows command prompt with the following command:
java org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start -h localhost
,and I can do this from any location within my system's directory tree.
I can start the derby ij client from within a Windows command prompt with the command:
java org.apache.derby.tools.ij
,again, from any location within my system's directory tree.
But the code snippet below is unable to make this connection:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection conn = null;
String url = "jdbc:derby://localhost/studentdb;create=true";
//the error happens here, the program executes no further
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,null);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
}
Placing the port value in the url string makes no difference.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
You must add the derby jdbc driver to your classpath (from derbyclient.jar, since this is the ClientDriver), then use this instruction to load the driver :
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver");
So I encountered this error and it was quite an irritating and hectic task to resolve this. But in the end, I managed to find a perfect video that made me install derby from the start and guided me perfectly on how to install it. However, there is one more step after the video.
Watch this video if you have set up JavaFX packages and are able to run the program normally, but facing
"java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DBNAME;create=true" issue when trying to run with the database.
Link to the tutorial -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKiBsWbgrMw
Now after this is set up you will now be able to start/stop the database (via the services tab) and will be able to connect with the DB. But the issue will still persist in trying to edit the DB.
To rectify this, follow the steps ->
Right click on project ---> Properties ---> Libraries ---> Click on '+' in Classpath ---> Add jar/folder ---> Go to the lib folder inside the derby and select derbyclient.jar

I have created database with my own program and it appeared as mydatabase.mv.db file.
But when I tried to access the same database with DbVisualizer, with apparently same parameters, it created two files mydatabase.lock.db and celebrity.h2.db and didn't see tables, created in the program.
What was the incompatibility?
UPDATE
both setups are follows:
In H2 version 1.3.x, the database file <databaseName>.h2.db is the default. (The storage engine "PageStore" is used).
In H2 version 1.4.x, the database file <databaseName>.mv.dbis the default. (The storage engine "MVStore" is used). The MVStore is still beta right now (November 2014). But you can disable the MVStore by appending ;mv_store=false to the database URL.
The accepted answer is now several years old and since others may be looking for a more "current" solution...
To get it to work just update the H2 JDBC driver that DBVizualizer uses. Basically download the "Platform-Independent Zip" from http://www.h2database.com/html/download.html and copy the h2/bin/h2-X.X.X.jar file to ~/.dbvis/jdbc/ and then restart DBVizualizer so it can pick up the updated driver.
Also, make sure you remove .mv.db from the file name when setting the Database file name in DBVizualizer.
For Windows Users:
The excellent way to read a *.db.mv file would be locally installing the h2 database and then running that database locally with the java command.
Then your path to the file will definitely show the data from your table until and unless any errors occur.
You can download the h2 database form:
http://www.h2database.com/html/download-archive.html
Note: choose the database version for H2 which supports your file.
You can install the H2 database by installing the downloaded .exe file would be around 7 MB.
then in the bin directory of H2 open a command prompt and run the command
java -jar in my case it is
command: java -jar h2-1.4.200.jar
It will show the console of the H2 database on the browser
Provide the database details:
Driver Class: org.h2.Driver JDBC
URL: jdbc:h2:~/h2 "file path"
User Name: "blank by default"
Password: "blank by default"

I am attempting to access my SQLite3 database in a Java Applet. When I run my code to connect to the database I get this error No suitable driver found for a.db, how can I fix it?
Now I am not entirely sure I have actually installed the correct driver...I will tell you what I have done & could you tell me what else I need to do to make Eclipse IDE find the SQLitejdbc driver:
BK info: On windows 7, using Eclipse Helios Java
I have a SQLite3 database created in python & I want to read it in my Java Applet
I have downloaded the file sqlitejdbc-V056.jar from http://www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/
Then I copied & pasted the above file to the paths C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib & C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext
Run the following code in a Java Applet & get an exception thrown with the text: "No suitable driver found for a.db"
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("a.db"); // exception thrown here
Any information would be really helpful. Do I need to import the driver into my Eclipse project?
Try this:-
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:a.db");
