My code is quite simple

try {
Class.forName("org.postgres.Driver");
} catch(ClassNotFoundException nfe) {
nfe.printStackTrace();
}
try {
db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:databasename", "id", "password");
} catch(SQLException se) {
se.printStackTrace();
}

on execution I receive a SQLException stating that there is no suitable driver

This is my first time trying to connect to postgreSQL and I am stuck.

Any advice appreciated (career change is not an option :-)
