Hello, all. I have a problem - I'm trying to write my first program by Java2
and need to connect applets with database in MySQL. Don't know how to do
that. I know, that I have to use a driver, but what exactly and where can I
take it? Thank you.

The MySQL web site has the JDBC driver available. Once you reference
that from you applet (in an archive atrribute, generally), you can
follow any basic JDBC tutorial for the rest.

Keep in mind that untrusted applets may only make network connections
back to their originating host, so your web server must also be running
the database, or you'll need to digitally sign the applet to verify your
identity and then ask for permission.
