Thread: Problem connecting to JDBC 7.0-1.2 driver

Problem connecting to JDBC 7.0-1.2 driver

From

Hi..

I've installed JDK 1.2.2 from RPM's into my Red Hat 7.0 System which has
Postgresql 7.0.2 installed.

1. I've copied the jdbc7.0-1.2.jar file to the postgresql.jar file.
2. my classpath includes /usr/lib/pgsql/postgresql.jar
3. Whenever i run a java program to connect, i get an SQLException: No
Driver Found.
4. My postmaster is running with the -i option.

What could be the problem??

Thanks

Raman.

What's the code you are using to connect with?

I tried both methods:

1. Class.forName("postgresql.Driver"); (in the code)

&

2. omitting the above code and trying: java -Djdbc.drivers=postgresql.jar

Thanks,
Raman.

You should be using org.postgresql.Driver here, shouldn't you?

Same for the command line:

-Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver

There are examples of this in the source code distribution under
src/interfaces/jdbc

Memory should be the starting point of the present.

You're right.. org.postgresql.Driver works! I didn't think to look in
src/interfaces...

Thanks a Million!!

7.0 and later it's "org.postgresql.Driver"

Nope, -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver
