We can easily connect Database with Selenium. The below example illustrates how to use/connect MySQL with Selenium using Java.
Prerequisites:
mysql-connector-java-5.1.0-bin.jar or above versions
Create a table with some data
Snippet:
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
public class dbconnection
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
String email;
String dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"; //This URL is based on your IP address
String username="username"; //Default username is root
String password="password"; //Default password is root
String dbClass = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String query = "Select email from users where user_id = 1;";
try
{
Class.forName(dbClass);
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection (dbUrl,username,password);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
while (rs.next())
{
dbtime = rs.getString(1);
System.out.println(email);
} //end while
con.close();
} //end try
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch(SQLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
} //end main
} //end class
