1、DB连接打不开，双击报错空指针

解决方法：之前JDK版本为11，把JDK 版本换为1.8,即可
2、DB连接可以打开，但是错误连接数据库Driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver' could not be found, make sure the 'MySQL' driver (jar file) is installed.org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
错误如下：

解决方法：
下载jar包：mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar（注意kettle的版本，不同的版本驱动不一样，如果kettle是7.1版本的请到第三条内容下载）
放到Kettle安装目录下：D:kettledata-integrationlib
重启Spoon.bat问题解决：
3、如果安装完驱动之后报错Unknown system variable 'query_cache_size'
