Setup

I would be grateful if someone could answers a couple of questions

I want to connect to PostgreSQL through Open Office on RH8. I have only
got the j2re1.4.1-01 package, as I could not get the SDK because it
takes longer than 2 hours on my modem to download and my ISP disconnects
me.

1.Can I just get the JDBC drivers without SDK?
2.Are there any good/simple docs on setup for JDBC as the PostgreSQL
docs assume you are installing and compiling code and are over
complicated?

Regards

I've put together a newbie-oriented JDBC FAQ that doesn't assume you want to compile-your-own. Take a look at
http://www.fankhausers.com/postgresql/jdbc.I've never used Open Office myself, but if it connects via JDBC this won't
behard. 

I think your task just comes down to this:

-Enable network socket connections on the DB server.
-Download the driver.
-Add the driver to your classpath.

(and finally, let us know how it went so we can be more helpful the next person who asks.)
