Re: jdbc driver not recognized

Hi Stuart,

Sorry abou the delay getting back to you. In case you haven't
gotten any more info on this. As it happens I do use Java 2.
It's been awhile since I've use 1.1. One thing you might try
instead of using the System.setProperty() method is try the -D
option of the java command :

java -Djdbc.drivers=<driver> <java class>

The jar containing the driver definitely has to be in CLASSPATH.
Setting this will depend on on which shell you are using. From
below it looks like you're using csh or a csh variant.
You could try:
set CLASSPATH <path to classes.zip>:<path to pqsl driver jar>

Note that the above pathes need to include the classes.zip and the
jar file.

Hope this helps.
