Connection | JDBC Tutorial for Beginners

In this JDBC Tutorial for Beginners, we will learn how to use the Connection Class to connect to a MariaDB database. JDBC enables Java applications to connect to relational databases. JDBC is database independent. Each database manufacturer is responsible for providing a JDBC driver, which is a set of classes that implement the Java JDBC interfaces. In this episode we will be creating a static class with a method that returns a JDBC connection object from the DriverManager class.

Why to create a function for returning a connection object when DriverManager.getConnection itself does the job?

No! You cannot say "I have created a user lib in Eclipse, and I'm gonna attach that to...". You have to SHOW how you created the user lib! I cannot grab the downloaded .jar file because Eclips wont allow me. It doesn't find the *.jar-file. Yes, I'm a worthless looser noob, but that's why I try to follow BEGINNERS tutorials...
