I have a question regarding a JDBC driver and Mysql database I have to do the following for a lab:

To start working with a database you will need a JDBC driver to allow for any connectivity within your app.

To include a driver for your MySQL database,you need to createa folder called libswithin your project. The MySQL driver for JDBC connections packages in the form of a jar file which you can download here:

You will find a JDBC driver for connecting to a MySQL databaselocated here:

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

If I already have MySQL installed on my computer, do I have to re-install it again to get the driver to connect to the database or I just install the JDBC driver?
