I have upgraded my MySQL database to 8.0. I downloaded its java connector, and moved mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar to :

/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/SystemFiles/Links/DatabaseLink/Java/

Set CLASSPATH to make sure it can be found

I went to Mathematica and tried to create a new connector:

 com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

and for the protocol I used:

  jdbc:mysql://

Saved it.

Created a new connection to my database, but when I tried to connect I got Error: JDBC::classnotfound

Any help will be most appreciated

Created a new connection to my database, but when I tried to connect I got Error: JDBC::classnotfound

by the way I did the following:

 conn = OpenSQLConnection[
     JDBC["com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver", "jdbc:mysql://"], 
     "Name" -> "MyDatabase", "Username" -> "root", 
     "Password" -> "secret"]

Now I get the following Error

 JDBC::error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
