MySQL Connector/J Developer Guide

Abstract

This manual describes how to install, configure, and develop database applications using MySQL Connector/J 8.3, a JDBC and X DevAPI driver for communicating with MySQL servers.

MySQL Connector/J 8.3 supersedes the 8.2 series and is recommended for use on production systems. It is highly recommended for use with MySQL Server 8.0 and up. Please upgrade to MySQL Connector/J 8.3.

For notes detailing the changes in each release of Connector/J, see MySQL Connector/J Release Notes.

For legal information, including licensing information, see the Preface and Legal Notices.

For help with using MySQL, please visit the MySQL Forums, where you can discuss your issues with other MySQL users.
