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 :-)
