You won't find the package you're looking for in any of the Sun libraries. Java package naming conventions are that the package name should be the reverse of the URL of the company supplying the package. Therefore, you need to be looking at mysql.com. Try http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.1.html for their jdbc driver, which is what you're looking for, I suspect. -- Robert P.
