jdbc connection "alternative to Class.forname for driver loading"

can we use anything else instead of Class.forName() for loading a driver for jdbc connectivity i.e is first step of jdbc connection?

Just import java.sql.Driver and invoke DriverManager.getConnecion() to establish a database connection. You don't really need to call Call.forName() these days (java7).

You haven't even needed that since JDBC 4.1. Just call DriverManager.getConnection() with an appropriate URL.
