JDBC install

Hello everybody,

   I am new to the list and joined because I got some VERY basic
questions about jdbc that I must get answers to, so I hope someone can
point me to a tutorial or doc of some kind. After some time, I hope
that i can help others with the same problems I have now :)

My first question is:
I bought the professional postgresql package,, and I must install jdbc
on my eMac. In the Java folder of the CD, I found 4 .jar files,
pg73jdbc[1-3].jar and pg73jdbc2ee.jar . I need JDBC so I can connect to
postgres from webobjects. Wich one I install ? Or am i asking BS, and
jdbc is not installed by any of these ?

TIA,
João Paulo Vasconcellos

The Driver is in these jar files.  (JDBC is part of Java)

Based on the name of the thing you want to use I guess you should try
thepg73jdbc2ee.jar.  Make sure it is in your CLASSPATH or just pop it
into your jre/lib/ext directory.  I am assuming the Java that you have
installed is a 1.4 J2EE one.

Doesn't your "professionsl" postgresql package include documentation?
Where did you get it from?

Abracos,
Fernando
