[Exist-open] Installing mysql connector

[Len S. <le...@wi...>]

Hello,

Where can I find the steps to correctly install the mysql JDBC driver onto MacOS?  I’m following http://www.exist-db.org/exist/apps/wiki/HowTo/SQLDatabases/QueryingSQLDatabases, but am stuck at 1.2.  Everything I try results in

ERROR (GetConnectionFunction.java [eval]:161) - sql:get-connection() Cannot connect to database: jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/db
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql

I’ve installed mysql-connector-java-8.0.22.jar into


  *   /Applications/eXist-db.app/Contents/Java/
  *   /Applications/eXist-db.app/Contents/lib/user/
  *   /Applications/eXist-db.app/Contents/Resources/lib/user/
  *   /Applications/eXist-db.app/Contents/Resources/etc/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/

And none of these locations resolved the error.  I must be missing a step.  Any suggestions or links to the proper installation steps?
