Thread: Unable to connect to database
Please have mercy on this poor beginner!
I am totally new to both postgresql and jdbc, so I'm probably committing
some very basic error, but I am unable to make a connection to my
database via jdbc. I am using postgresql 7.1.2 which seems to be
running OK (under Suse Linux 7.1); at least I can run the sample
interactive scripts with pqsl. I built and installed jdbc according to
the instructions in the readme file, and I am using Java 1.3. I used
"createdb" to create my own database "petesdb" with username "progers".
However, when I run the small piece of code below, the driver gets
registered, but getConnection fails with a segmentation fault.
import java.sql.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestDb
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Connection db; // The connection to the database
Statement st; // Our statement to run queries with
try
{
// This line outputs debug information to stderr
DriverManager.setLogStream(System.err);
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
System.out.println("Db driver OK");
// Connect to database
String url = "jdbc:postgresql:petesdb";
String usr = "progers";
String pwd = "petesdb_pwd";
System.out.println("Connecting to Database URL = " + url);
db = DriverManager.getConnection(url, usr, pwd);
System.out.println("Db connection OK");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
// your error handling code goes here
System.out.println("Hey! no db driver or no db connection");
}
}
}
The console output is as follows:
DriverManager.initialize: jdbc.drivers = null
JDBC DriverManager initialized
registerDriver:
driver[className=org.postgresql.Driver,org.postgresql.Driver@4b222f]
Db driver OK
Connecting to Database URL = jdbc:postgresql:petesdb
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql:petesdb")
trying
driver[className=org.postgresql.Driver,org.postgresql.Driver@4b222f]
Segmentation fault
My thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Peter,
I believe that the url format is "jdbc.postgresql://<host>/<database>". This
could be the problem.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
Peter,
Do you have any other problems running java on this machine. The only
reason you should ever get a segmentation fault with java is if the jvm
is buggy.
What jvm are you using. I know there are issues running sun's jvm on
newer distributions.

The url format is correct.

Try a newer JDBC driver (from CVS). Other than that, the problem could be your JVM. Which one are you using exactly? Liam -- Liam Stewart :: Red Hat Canada, Ltd. :: liams@redhat.com

Hi Fred--
Thanks -- that was it! I can now connect to the database.
Also thanks to everyone else to responded to my post.

Although, even if the problem is sorted, it appears that you have an
erratic JVM problem. Having -i off should not cause your JVM to dump
core. On RH7.1 I know that I have to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 in
my java script, as not having it causes quite a few *erratic*
problems. You might want to check whether or not you need this
(Linux only, I think, and although I picked it up through the RH7.1
README (and some help from Trond ;-), I'm sure that there are other
distributions that require it, and it's possible that recent BSDs
using a Linux JVM might also require it).
Cheers...
