I am using Eclipse IDE Version: Helios Service Release 2 and JDK version 1.6. I have SQL Server 2008 installed on my system. I have downloaded Microsoft JDBC driver and included the path of the jar file in Eclipse IDE-> Project Properties->Java build Path-> Libraries -> Add External jars.

I have written this piece of code for database connection:

```
package com.ucs.test;

import java.sql.*;

public class ConnectDatabase {

Connection DBconnection = null;
String dbName = "silkopenview";
String userName = "SilkTestAdmin"; 
String password = "Nbv12345";

Class.forName(drivername);

DBconnection = DriverManager.getConnection(dbName,userName,password);

}

```

But I get the following errors:

*Syntax error on token "DBconnection", VariableDeclaratorId expected after this token  

Syntax error on token "drivername", VariableDeclaratorId expected after this token  

Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)*

I am new to Java and Eclipse IDE. Please help me in correcting this errors. A quick help is appreciated.
