Hi all,
I'm in the same situation where Dennis King was on 19 Nov 2002.
I'm trying to connect to pgsql using JDBC (on a RHL 8.0) and for me, as it was with Dennis, forName registers the Driver, but getConnection throws the exception "Driver not found".
I use JDK 1.3.1,
running java as : $>java -cp ./pg72jdbc2.jar <myClassFile>
The source for myClassFile has the following specs
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
...
Driver.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql:postgres","postgres"); // throws the "Driver Not Found" exception.
<Here 'postgres' is the database name and 'postgres' is a user>
BTW I tried the same Driver in Windows (2000 prof, jdk1.4.1, forte for Java) and there getConnection worked, but the connection was refused by the RHL DB host (I've edited the pg_hba.conf file). That was just a try, I'd stick to RHL.
Dennis any luck with your tries? Did you compile one of those sources?
If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Deepak.
