PostgreSQL JDBC
I seem to be having some problems w/ the psql jdbc driver. I'm able to load the driver, but as soon as I try to connect w/ the database. here's my code:
import java.sql.*;
public class dataBase {
public static void main(String [] args){
try {
Class.forName("org.postgresql.DriverClass").newInstance();
System.out.println("Driver Loaded Successfully");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Unable to Load Driver " + e.getMessage() );
}
try {
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost/mapping",
"mapping", "");
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("SQLException: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
When I run this code as shown, I get the following output:
Driver Loaded Successfully
SQLException: No suitable driver
I'm trying to connect to the database "mapping" under the user "mapping" w/ no password. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I'm running psql ver 7.0.2 and jdbc driver "jdbc7.0-1.2.jar" and the java 1.3 jdk. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

The class instance will load successfully, but this isn't what you
want. Replace org.postgresql.DriverClass with org.postgresql.Driver.

I'd also remove the newInstance() as it will create a second object that
will just occupy memory (the class has a static initialiser).
