Cant connect to my SQL database

Question

So I'm having an issue connecting to MySQL with Java. Heres my code:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;


public class DBAccess {
    private String Host;
    private String User;
    private String Password;

    public DBAccess() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException{
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    Password = "password";
    Host = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/worlddb";
    User = "root";
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    Connection connect = DriverManager.getConnection(Host,User,Password);
        System.out.println("Connected!"); 
    }
    public void RetreiveData(){

    }
    public void ChangeData(){
    }

}

The error that I'm getting is Exception in thread "main"

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Unknown database 'worlddb'

http://postimg.org/image/593stjvjx/ in mySQL workbench, my connection name is "worlddb" hostname is Liquidus(which is the localhost)

• socket is MySQL
• Port: 3306

Why is this?

Answer 1

Take care to not have white spaces and use jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname

Answer 2

connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/worlddb?" +"user=root&password=password");

Try this, I have a connection to mysql db with same connection, you just add ? after the name of the db.
