Re: [Squirrel-sql-users] Drivers doesn't load

[Andreas O. <cpt...@gm...>]

Hi Ernesto,

you have to add the JDBC drivers for the databases you want to connect 
to the lib folder of your SQuirreL installation. For example you can 
download the MySQL JDBC driver at 
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
The "JDBC ODBC Bridge"  is part of the Java JRE installation and 
therefor is available. For any other database you first have to download 
the JDBC driver.

Hope that helps. If you have further questions do not hesitate to ask.

Andreas
