main::java::lang::ClassNotFoundException

Java does not find a required class.

// Load Teradata JDBC driver
Class.forName("com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver");

Are you sure that is sufficient? According to https://docs.oracle.com/javase%2F7%2Fdocs%2Fapi%2F%2F/java/lang/Class.html#forName(java.lang.String), this method may return a class object, but it does not initialize it. This method is documented to throw a ClassNotFoundException, so its parameter is likely to be the first problem. Java has no clue where to find the class file.

// Establish the connection
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, username,
+ password);
[download]

According to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/DriverManager.html#getConnection-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-, this method does not throw a ClassNotFoundException. But:

The DriverManager attempts to select an appropriate driver from the set of registered JDBC drivers.

And that might be the second problem: The JDBC driver must somehow be registered. My guess is that that happens when the driver class is initialized, which does not happen in your code.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/DriverManager.html#registerDriver-java.sql.Driver- explains:

Registers the given driver with the DriverManager. A newly-loaded driver class should call the method registerDriver to make itself known to the DriverManager.

Yahoo! - I solved the problem - wasn't easy, but I did it. I'll share my code in case anyone else has the issue. The big item was I had to point to my class path jar file to point to terajdbc4.jar

use strict;

use warnings;

 

use Inline Java => <<'END' => CLASSPATH => 'C:/jars/terajdbc4.jar';

 

 

import java.sql.Connection;

import java.util.*;

import java.sql.DriverManager;

import java.sql.SQLException;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.sql.*;


 

public class TeradataConnectionTest {

public static void testConnection(String jdbcUrl, String username, Str
+ing password) {

try {

                System.out.println("Test up to part 1");

//e.printStackTrace();

//DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver());

 

//DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver()); Di
+d not work

Class.forName("com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver"); //Did not work

//  Class.forName("com.ncr.teradata.TeraDriver"); Did not work

Connection connectionA = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl, username
+, password);

System.out.println("Test up to part 2");

System.out.println("Connected to Teradata!");

// Perform your database operations here

connectionA.close();

} catch (SQLException e)

 {

// Print the stack trace or error message

e.printStackTrace();

   System.err.println("SQLException: " + e.getMessage());

} catch (Exception e) {

// Handle other exceptions

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

 

END

So, it is almost like it is calling out to the trino driver, not the Teradata driver. How would appropriately register the driver, what is the syntax?
