Hey Katalon Friends :sunglasses:
I’m trying to use Katalon to connect to mysql database that I have setup and I’m getting the following error, am I missing an import that is needed for this driver? Outside of Katalon, I’m successfully connected to my database. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi @Stephanie.LovingJone,

You need to download MySQL JDBC driver and add to your project as an external dependencies. For more details, please refer to our doc: https://docs.katalon.com/docs/create-tests/data-driven-testing/implement-data-driven-testing-with-mysql#add-an-external-jdbc-driver-for-mysql-database-connection
