golem> grep -i Class.forName *.sgml
jdbc.sgml:Class.forName() method. For
Postgres, you would use:
jdbc.sgml:Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");

And from the generated html:


In the first method, your code implicitly loads the driver using the
Class.forName() method. For Postgres, you would use: 

Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");


Not sure if it could be mentioned somewhere else? Or maybe we can make
a general statement about how well people using Java follow directions
:)
