        String url = String.format("jdbc:sqlserver://testchinnaa.database.windows.net:1433;database=Test_Gopi;user=chinna@testchinna;password=*****;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=30;"
            + "hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=30;", hostName, dbName, user, password);
        Connection connection = null;

            String schema = connection.getSchema();
            System.out.println("Successful connection - Schema: " + schema);

            System.out.println("Query data example:");
            System.out.println("=========================================");

            // Create and execute a SELECT SQL statement.
            String selectSql = "SELECT TOP 20 pc.Name as CategoryName, p.name as ProductName "
                + "FROM [SalesLT].[ProductCategory] pc "  
                + "JOIN [SalesLT].[Product] p ON pc.productcategoryid = p.productcategoryid";

            try (Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
            ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(selectSql)) {

                // Print results from select statement
                System.out.println("Top 20 categories:");
                while (resultSet.next())
                {
                    System.out.println(resultSet.getString(1) + " "
                        + resultSet.getString(2));
                }

Sorry, you have to figure out if you are using MySql or MSSql. You said that you used mysql. However, in your connection string, it is a sqlserver which means it is a MSSql.

Here is the tutorial for accessing database using java:

1. You need to download connector for your database:

   • For MySql: MySQL Connector/J

   • For MSSql: Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server

2. Manually add connector jar file to your classpath. Or you can use Maven dependencies manager to install and configure the Connector/J library in your project.

   <!-- Example for mysql -->
   <dependency>
      <groupId>mysql</groupId>
      <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
      <version>8.0.18</version>
   </dependency>
   

3. Code sample

   • For MSSql:

     try {
         Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
         connection = DriverManager.getConnection("conntection_string");
         String SQL = "SELECT name FROM sysdatabases;";
     
         try (Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
              ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(SQL)) {
     
             // Print results from select statement
             while (resultSet.next()) {
                 System.out.println(resultSet.getString(1));
             }
             connection.close();
         }
     } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
     

   • For MySql:

     Connection conn = null;
     ResultSet rs = null;
     try {
         Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
         String connectionUrl = "jdbc:mysql://{server_name}.mysql.database.azure.com:3306?useSSL=true&requireSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC";;
         conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl, "username_from_portal, like: jack@mysqldemo258", "password");
         rs = conn.prepareStatement("show databases").executeQuery();
     
         while(rs.next()){
             System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
         }
     } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     } catch (SQLException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     } finally {
         try{
             if(rs != null) rs.close();
             if(conn != null) conn.close();
         } catch (SQLException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         }
     }
