Read the documentation for the PostgreSQL JDBC layer, particularly the
part about the JDBC URL. I quote:

------------
The JDBC URL

In JDBC all url's begin with jdbc:protocol: This is the standard. After
this is driver specific, and no two drivers are the same.

So our url? It's one of the following:

jdbc:postgresql:database
jdbc:postgresql://host/database
jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database

where database is the database to connect to, host the server to connect
to, and port the port number.

If left out, host defaults to localhost (not 127.0.0.1 see applets!) and
port to 5432 (configurable at build time).
