I'm having a terrible time trying to use the JDBC in os x.


Then I've opened my etc/profile file and added the location to
the classpath like this:

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/mysql-connector-java-3.1.14/mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar"
export PATH - This might be the problem but I couldn't find an explicit example of how to do this...


CLASSPATH is not the same as PATH.

So should I just alter that same file to include the following?

CLASSPATH="/usr/mysql-connector-java-3.1.14/mysql- connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar" export CLASSPATH

Yes. Why didn't you just try it?


Does this make it the classpath Java apps will use?

Usually.

Google for "Java classpath" then follow the sun.com or Roedy Green links. Google is useful, I recommend you try it occasionally :-)
