Hi, I'm trying to get a small test program going. I have built PostgreSQL
7.1.3 on RedHat 6.2 with --java, installed and created databases, verified
with psql. The postgresql.jar is on my classpath.

My pg_hba.conf has:
local all password
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password

Here is my code:

import java.sql.*;

public class PostgresTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Connection db =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc.postgresql:test&user=test&password=test");
// I've also tried all the permutations of getConnection() and urls.
// db, user, and password names have been changed to protect the innocent
// I've also tried Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver") and
// Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver").newInstance() instead of the arg.
db.close();
} catch(Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
}
}

Running it with:

java -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver PostgresTest
where the db has been started by user postgres with:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -i -D /data/pgsql >/data/pgsql/pgsql.log 2>&1 &

And the error is:

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:537)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:199)
at PostgresTest.main(PostgresTest.java:6)

What is wrong?
