Re: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Hi,

Well it gives me a lot of debug information. http://timmy.dk/debug.txt .

I ran:

hostname:~$ java -verbose -cp /usr/share/java/pg74.216.jdbc3.jar -jar program.jar

Mads,

And how do you execute the program ? One thing that can help is to run java -verbose to see what it is doing.

Hi Dave,

My Classpath is:

hostname:~$ echo $CLASSPATH

/usr/share/java/pg74.216.jdbc3.jar

And the file exists:
hostname:~$ ls -la /usr/share/java/pg74.216.jdbc3.jar 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 210371 2006-04-27 09:52 /usr/share/java/pg74.216.jdbc3.jar

Mads,

What is your classpath.

inevitably this is the problem.

Well, it gives me:

But I think you're right... But my problem is, that if I try to run it with the classpath flag, and also the classpath environment vartiable, it fails.
The path is correct.

I believe that I have overseen something, but I have looked over the setup a dusin of times now, and I can't spot it.

5 will get you 10 that your class path isn't setup correctly. Try adding ex.printStackTrace() to the catch handler for Class.forName

Hi Everybody, when I try to run my program, I get the following error message:

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)

My connect code is:

try {

    Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

      }catch (ClassNotFoundException e){

      }

      try {

        db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://hostname/" + dbName,"bruger","kode");

      } catch (SQLException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

      }

On my system I have putted the jdbc driver for postgres into the classpath:

hostname:~$ echo $CLASSPATH

/usr/share/java/pg74.216.jdbc3.jar

Java version:

hostname:~$ java -version

java version "1.5.0_06"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

As far as I know it should work since, it is correct in the classpath. I have also tried with other postgres jdbc drivers. In my IDE(Eclipse), it works fine, but on my production server it gives the error. 

I've also tried to run the program with the -classpath flag, with the same result.

Have I simply forgotten something, or is there something seriously wrong?

Thanks in advance.
