Re: Connection Problem with JDBC

Steve,

What do you get when you add the following code

Enumeration e = DriverManager.getDrivers();
While(e.hasNext()){
System.out.println(e.nextElement());
}

I just verified that it works under linux as advertised, but still
doesn't work under windoze. Steven, I presume you are trying to use this
on a windows machine?

Steven,

This works for me.

[blind(at)barry work]$ echo $CLASSPATH
.:/home/blind/work/wfs/jars/postgresjdbc.jar
[blind(at)barry work]$ java -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver
ConnectDemo jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/files blind "" Connection
successful. Connection as String: org(dot)postgresql(dot)jdbc2(dot)Connection(at)4ac268

I am running on RedHat 7.2, jdk 1.3.1_01 with the postgres 7.2 jdbc
drivers.

Are you sure that the jdbc jar file is in your CLASSPATH, and that you
have exported the CLASSPATH setting back to the environment?

thanks,
--Barry
