Thread: Getting started with jdbc3 and eclipse

Hi All,
I am about to get started with postgresql 8.2 and eclipse. the installation of the postgres DB was successful and now
myproblem is how to find the driver in eclipse. I have set the classpath correctly and I also added the library to the
eclipseproject (although I know the is not even neccessary). 

So now by trying to establish a connection with the following code:

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
            db = DriverManager.getConnection("localhost:5432", "postgres", "*****");

I get this exception:

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
    at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:545)
    at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:171)
    at com.seitenbau.test.testDB.<init>(testDB.java:12)
    at com.seitenbau.test.App.main(App.java:14)


So I am using jdk 1.5_12 and the postgresql-8.2-506.jdbc3.jar

Does someone has any idea? THX in advance

-Dominik

The Komo project is an Eclipse application that can be used as a
foundation for a PostgreSQL interface.  It uses dynamic loading of the
jdbc driver and has a connection manager class that handles the database
connection.  You can download it at pgFoundry and look at the source code.

Add the PG jar file as an external JAR file to your project.
