I am trying to connect to a MySQL database using Mathematica's databaselink library. I can connect to the test databases provided with Mathematica (which are HSQL databases), and my MySQL databases work well on their own, but when I try to connect to the MySQL database from Mathematica, I get errors. My connection file looks like this: SQLConnection[JDBC["mysql", ToFileName["C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data", "dbsterntest"]], "Name" -> "MySQL test", "Description" -> "test connection to MySQL database", "Username" -> "root", "Password" -> "$Prompt", "RelativePath" -> False, "Version" -> 1.] I have also tried with the OpenSQLConnection command directly, OpenSQLConnection[JDBC["mysql","C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\dbsterntest"],Username->"root",Password->"$Prompt"] In both cases, I get the following error: JDBC::error: JDBC error: Cannot load connection class because of underlying \ exception: 'java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "\Program \ Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\dbsterntest"'. Help?
