I'm trying to convince my employer that it would be to our advantage to use Java and MySQL together. But, I am not completely positive I can get them to work on our machine. MySQL is not the issue. I think we are limited to what version of Java we can run. What version of Java would we need to be running to use the MySQL Connector/J?

I have run Connector/J and its predecessors with Java 1.3 and Java 1.4 and had essentially no problems. But I cannot see any reason, if you do not have any legacy Java to support, for not going for the latest available version of Java (1.4 at this time)

Using MySQL from Java is very easy indeed - took me about 30 minutes to set up, after which my questions were nearly all SQL questions not Java questions. For a low-hassle way of accessing MySQL, I would recommend Java (though, not doubt, all the other enthusiasts will recommend their languages).
