Hello I have downloaded the postgre driver for java, and tried to run
the following code;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class DataBase
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try {
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println("Couldn't find driver class:");
cnfe.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Testing");
}
}
However, I get this output:
ed@desktop:~/jbproject$ javac Example1.java && java Example1
Checking if Driver is registered with DriverManager.
Couldn't find the driver!
Let's print a stack trace, and exit.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver

at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141)
at Example1.main(Example1.java:10)
The driver is there, after reading the documentation I thought, perhaps
I have to rename the .jar file to postgres.jar:
ed@desktop:/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2$ find . | grep postgres
./jre/lib/ext/postgresql.jar
./lib/postgresql.jar
I am very confused as to what is going wrong.
