I'm getting this exception when I try to run this program. It's one of the Microsoft examples. I've added the sqljdbc4.jar to the classpath in netbeans for both compile and Run, via the project properties. I also tested that the class could be found by using an import statement below - no error during compile, so it must be finding the jar.
Could it be related to a dll or some sql dll that the sqldbc4.jar references?
This is the exact exception, and below is the exact code, except for password.
Exception:
run:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=HealthCareDatabase
Error Trace in getConnection() : No suitable driver found for jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=HealthCareDatabase
