I wrote a small program in Java which connects to a db and can provide a Connection and can close a connection.This class read a properties file to find out info about db. It works fine with Oracle but not with Mysql. I installed mysql-connector-java-3.2.0-alpha-bin.jar file and I have it in my CLASSPATH.
Questions: What would be the steps to install and have ready for use mysql and its jdbc drivers?( I red documentation but it keeps confusing me)
What "alpha" stands for?(mysql-connector-java-3.2.0-alpha-bin)

Thanks
