Your syntax is right, but you aren't casting the right thing here. (clojure.lang.RT/classForName "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver") does not return a com.mysql.jdbc.Driver, it returns a Class<com.mysql.jdbc.Driver>. I.e., it is an instance of Class, not of java.sql.Driver. As for how to get something valid to pass into registerDriver, I don't know off-hand. You need to get a valid instance of com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. You'll have to check the docs for that Driver, I guess.
