Thread: Connecting postgreSQL using JDBC

Connecting postgreSQL using JDBC

From
"Howard"
Date:
I have just tried a sample Java program. It connects the PostgreSQL through
the JDBC. I ran it on the postgreSQL machine. It works fine. But, when I
tried to run it in another machine and connecting the database through the
network. The connection was refused. I have no idea what is wrong.

postgreSQL:
    startup with 'postmaster -i'
java program:
    ...DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:postgresql:webtest", "nobody",
"");
where webtest is my testing database name.

What access does your pg_hba.conf provide for?  I think it defaults to
only allowing local access.  In order to connect to it from remote
machines the -I option needs to be given to postmaster and the
pga_hba.conf needs to allow connection from that IP to that data base
for that user.

As was mentioned, check you pg_hba.conf.  Also, you need to specify where
in the network the server is located by further qualifying the url name:

jdbc:postgresql://host_name_here/database_name
