java.sql.SQLException: No database selected – why?

Before you can add a table, you first have to select a database.
you can create a new database with:

  CREATE DATABASE database_name

you can connect to a specific database with:

String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/databasename";
String username = "test";
String password = "test";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
