Thread: JDBC -- can't create table

JDBC -- can't create table

From
"Glenn Holmer"
Date:
I am running Postgres 6.3 on a Linux box (S.u.S.E. 5.3, kernel 2.0.35)
and connecting from another Linux box.  Both are running Java 1.1.7
from Blackdown.  I can connect to the remote machine and even create a
database, but I am unable to create a table.

I've included the code as an attachment.  The exact output is as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------

loading JDBC class "postgresql.Driver"...

connecting to jdbc:postgresql://miranda:5432/factory...

creating skid table...
ERROR:  cannot create skids

--------------------------------------------------------

I do wind up with an empty file named "skids" on the server at
/var/lib/pgsql/data/base/factory.  I can't understand if this is just
some simple permissions problem or something else I overlooked.  Does
anybody see anything obvious?  Is there a way to get a more detailed
error message than "cannot create skids"?  I created the database by
hand with psql as user "factory" on the server before running this
test code.

Postgres for NT

From
"Randall W. Barrett"
Date:
I've installed PostgreSQL on my RH 5.1 box and would now like to put it on
my NT box.  I know this isn't the right mailing list, but was wondering if
anyone knew if it was available for NT and, if so, where might I find it?

Thanks,

    Randy Barrett

Hi, Randy,

There is a web page created by Joost Kraaijeveld regarding porting Postgres
to NT, but it is a bit out of date, see:

http://www.askesis.nl/AskesisPostgresIndex.html

I ported Postgres to NT successfully :) Thank Joost and Dan for their help.

Hope this helps,
Kevin.

Can you create the table using psql?

I've just compiled and tested your class, and it runs fine here unaltered.

Sometimes (rarely) it "just works" using psql, most of the time
I get that message.  I can't seem to isolate the cause (logged in
as database owner, logged in on the same machine, etc).  If it's
not Java (that would be a good thing), which mailing list is most
appropriate for a question like this?  I am quite new to Postgres.
The relevant portion of pg_hba.conf looks like this:

local   all                                   trust
host    all   192.168.6.0   255.255.255.0     trust
host    all   127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255   trust
