In this video I'd like to share with you how to connect to MySQL database in NetBeans IDE using Database Services tool, so you can work with and manage MySQL databases right inside NetBeans without having to use an external program like MySQL Workbench or MySQL Command Line Client.

In details, you will learn:
- Download MySQL JDBC driver
- Make connection to a MySQL database
- Create a new table
- Update data in a table
- Execute SQL statements

And I suppose that you're using these software programs:
- Java Development Kit (JDK)
- Apache NetBeans IDE
- MySQL Community server
