Postgreslq Driver in Java & Windows - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

I am a student who just learned Java and its JDBC capability.

I got a sample Java files which uses postgresql driver, I also got a
psqlodbc driver for Windows (2000 or XP) from:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/genpage.php?downloads and get
it installed.

I wonder if I can run the java program in the above environment.  Below are
some sample codes extract from the sample java file.

When I run this program, I got an error like "connection rejected, please
check host and port and make sure the postmaster used the -i option when
opening the TCP/IP networking function" (This error message is originally in
Chinese).

May I know is that a setup problem and if so, how can I correct it?  Or,
must I install a Postres database?  If so, is there any trial version for
Windows?  I don't have the localhost/data_mining directory but I don't know
where should I create this directory.

Thanks very much.

Kevin.
