Setting up DSN in linux

[mohamed zafer]

Hello there,
I m new to linux and just getting started with it. Can anyone help me to set up DSN on linux, or how to connect to a database from java.

Do you know which database(s) you have available on your Linux system? In general, the process is the same: find the appropriate database driver, add it to your classpath, and then connect to the database using JDBC.
I've moved this to the JDBC forum, where it will get more appropriate attention.
