Thread: PostgreSQL Database interfaced by Java Applet

Hi,

I've never worked with PostgreSQL and Java, but I've made
web-applications in VB.NET using MS SQL Server.  I know that I need a
JDBC Driver, but I have no clue as to:

1.) where I can get one.
2.) whether I need to set up an ODBC connection
3.) or just generally where to begin.

Any help provided will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Drivers and documentation are available here: http://jdbc.postgresql.org/

Go to java.sun.com and work through the tutorials.

if a paper book on JDBC is desired, the Sun book
_JDBC API Tutorial and Reference_ is really pretty
good; i learned most of what i needed to know about
JDBC from it.
