Java Tutorial - Java Script :
Download the Distribution Files
The first step is to download the distribution files. You should, at a minimum, get the MySQL binary distribution and the JDBC driver. These files can be found on the MySQL site at http://www.mysql.com. Note that the database and JDBC drivers are separate downloads. If you wish to use Windows programs with the database, then you should also download the ODBC driver as well. The three files you need will be named something like:
· MySQLversion.zip
· MySQL-connector-java-version.jar
· MyODBC-version.zip
After the files have been downloaded, create a temporary directory and use you favorite unzip utility to unzip the MySQLversion.zip file.
