与oracle不同是 在加载驱动的时候要用
Class.forName(driverName).newInstance();
其中的driverName用
driverName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
获取链接的时候用
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
其中的url用
private static String url = "jdbc:mysql://ip地址:端口/数据库名称?user=用户名&password=密码&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8";

JDBC工具类举例：

package util;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.util.Properties;
