Hello,

I am very new to using postgresql. I have a linux system at home
(Debian "slink" 2.0.36) which I have installed postgresql. The
postgresql on the linux system seems to be running fine and I can use
psql to test sql statements. I edited the init file and changed the
postmaster to accept tcp/ip connections.

My problem is when I try to talk to the database from a win95 system
using jdk1.2 and the sample program incloded with the JDBC driver. When
I run the program example.basic I get the following:

Connecting to Database URL = jdbc.postgresql://dragon:5432/doug
Exception caught.
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Compiled Code)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:137)
at example.basic.<init>(basic.java:34)
at example.basic.main(basic.java:168)

Does this mean there is a problem with the driver? The postgresql.jar
file is in the classpath. The linux system I am using is called
dragon and it should be using the default port of 5432.

Any thoughts on what is going wrong?

Thank you,

Doug
