Hi all!

I've tried searching both documentation and mailing lists for an answer
to what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find anything.

The problem (summary): I can't connect from another host, using password
or ident.

The setup for password is:

 > cat pg_hba.conf | grep upfab
 > host    upfab   213.64.136.11   255.255.255.0   password

Looking in pg_shadow, the passwd field it shows thePassword.

I connect with

 > new Database("jdbc:postgresql://svearike.org/upfab", "upfab",
"C0mp4q");

And finally, the error I get is:

 > Something unusual has occured to cause the driver to fail. Please  >
report this exception: Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Password  >
authentication failed for user 'upfab'

HOWEVER! As I wrote this e-mail, I tested with another password,
'c0mp4q'. This gave me another error:

 > Something unusual has occured to cause the driver to fail. Please  >
report this exception: Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ERROR:  No  >
such function 'pg_encoding_to_char' with the specified attributes

I guess this is because the driver's intended for another version of
Postgres. BUT am I missing something or are you not supposed to use
capital C as the first letter in a password?
