in eclipse iam just testing my connection. but i get a error:

SQLException: Unknown database '/a_upload'
SQLException: 1049

import java.sql.*;
 
public class database01
{
	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
		Connection connect = null;
 
		try{
			Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
			connect = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mydql://localhost//a_upload","root","");
			Statement sqlState = connect.createStatement();
 
			String selectStuff = "Select firstname from user";
			ResultSet rows = sqlState.executeQuery(selectStuff);
			while(rows.next())
			{
				System.out.println(rows.getString("firstname"));
			}
		}
		catch(SQLException e){
			System.out.println("SQLException: "+e.getMessage());
			System.out.println("SQLException: "+e.getErrorCode());
