Re: oops - Trying to do a simple connect to 7.2.1 DB -- unix

This is *definitely* not a PostgreSQL issue, but...

Does it tell you anything that the class is cannot find is
HelloPostgresql? That is _your_ class, not a PostgreSQL class.
Try "echo $CLASSPATH". You'll need both the directory containing
your class and the PostgreSQL JAR on the CLASSPATH (the current directory
is *not* included by default). Alternately, you could pass them in on the
command line:

java -cp .:/somewhere/pgsql.jar HelloPostgresql
