How to connect to MySQL versions older than 4.x, such as MySQL 3
The lastest MySQL Connector/J drivers do not work with MySQL versions prior to version 4.
For connecting to MySQL version 3 or earlier, an older version of the MySQL Connector/J
driver is needed, for example, MySQL Connector/J 3.1.
This driver can be found at the MySQL download site, located here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.1.html
The driver class name is also different when connecting to MySQL 3 or earlier.
The class name should be the following:
org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
