Re: I can't connect

Are you running postmaster with the -i option?

Subject: [JDBC] I can't connect

Hi,

I installed debian 2.2r2 with _all_ the postgres-packages, I created a database
and via psql I can do whatever I want with the DB. Now I'm trying to make a
connection via a Java-program. I downloaded the jdbc-6.5-1.2.jar file and
renamed it to jdbc.jar and moved it to ~/jdk1.3/lib, set the CLASSPATH to
~/jdk1.3/lib and used a program, found in the Deitel&Deitel Java book.
After that, I tried to make a connection to the database I created (testing) and
I keep getting error-messages.

Can someone help me with this? I'm trying for 3 days now and still no luck.

Thanks,
Bart

--- program from Deitel & Deitel ---

import java.sql.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;

public class TableDisplay extends JFrame
{
private Connection connection;
private JTable table;

public TableDisplay()
{
String url = "jdbc:odbc:testing"; // I also tried with <String url =
"jdbc:postgres:testing";>
String username = "postgres";
String password = "notentered";

try
{
Class.forName("jdbc.Driver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,
password);
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfex)
{
System.err.println("Failed to load the JDBC/ODBC driver.");
cnfex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
catch (SQLException sqlex)
{
System.err.println("Unable to connect to database.");
sqlex.printStackTrace();
}
. . . . . . . . .

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo(at)postgresql(dot)org)
