title: Weka 3.7 and 3.6 / No suitable driver found for
body: <p>There seems to be several postings about using Weka as an implementation for programs, but there are only few seem to be related to using Weka 3.7/3.6 with a database for data mining purposes.</p>
  
  <p>I referred to Weka's web site. (<a href="http://weka.wikispaces.com/Databases" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://weka.wikispaces.com/Databases</a>)</p>
  
  <p>In order to connect Weka and a DB, what I've done are...</p>
  
  <p><strong>1)Download JDBC Driver for MySQL (mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar)</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>2)Set CLASSPATH as "C:\Program Files\Weka-3-7\mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar" for the user's environmental variable</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>3)Open the RunWeka.ini file and changed the last line into "cp=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Program Files\Weka-3-7\mysql-connector-java-5.1.34-bin.jar"
  (I referred to "<a href="http://blog.ahughes.org/?p=347" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blog.ahughes.org/?p=347</a>")</strong></p>
  
  <p>However, Weka 3.7 still produces the No suitable driver error. I tried it by using Weka 3.6, but in vain.</p>
  
  <p>The Weka's web site above seems to provide a little old information, and some information doesn't seem to be related to Weka 3.6 or above.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate if you would give any insight.</p>

  This person seems to have encountered an identical issue, but following the answer of this page didn't solve my issue...</p>
