JDBC Driver

Hi all,

I want to use PostGreSQL in my Java application. I have compiled jdbc2 since
I am using JDK1.2
I have placed the jar file in my CLASSPATH. I am trying to connect to
PostGreSQL server running in HP-UX machine connected to my PC through LAN.
In my machine, I am working in Windows 95 platform.

The following piece of code depicts, how I am trying to connect to the
server. But it returns false for acceptsURL() call itself and throws
SQLException.

In the HP-UX machine, where I am running PostGreSQL server, I didn't see
port 5432 in /etc/services. Shall I add one entry with this port number
here. What else might be required ?

try
{
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
org.postgresql.Driver dr = new org.postgresql.Driver();
System.out.println("driver accepts URL :" +
dr.acceptsURL("jdbc:org.postgresql://192.168.20.19:5432/avijaynesimdb"));
System.out.println("Connecting to "+url);
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,usr,pwd);
System.out.println("Connected "+con);
st = con.createStatement();
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
{
System.out.println("Could not find JDBC driver. Please check the CLASSPATH.
" +
cnfe.getMessage());
}
catch(SQLException sqle)
{
System.out.println("Could not connect to database. " +
"Please check whether the database server is running or not. " +
sqle.getMessage());
}

Thank You,
Best Regards,
Vijay
