I want to connect my Database. I've created my Database and still shows these errors and I'm using Netbeans IDE 8.2.

You need to add driver jar to classpath. I don't know how to do it in netbeans — talex

You need to add the jdbc driver to your java application. If you have a maven project you can add it by adding the following depencency to you pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.derby</groupId>
    <artifactId>derbyclient</artifactId>
    <version>10.15.2.0</version>
</dependency>

If you use Netbeans you can download the driver from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/derby/derby/10.15.2.0/ and add it to the poject by following the guide at https://www.foxinfotech.in/2019/03/how-to-add-external-jar-file-in-netbeans-project.html.

I'm not using Maven. Can I do otherwise?

I have updated my answer with info about Netbeans.
