Re: Postgres-jdbc example!

Just for the record, here's my failed try to load the driver:
(oh, and I already started postmaster with -i option)

import java.sql.*;

public class init {

    public static void main (String args[]) {
    Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
    }
}

I get:
pdestroy@localhost:~/ist/bd/proj$ javac init.java
init.java:6: unreported exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
        Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
             ^
1 error


Best regards,

Paulo

    Yes, God had a deadline...
        So, He wrote it all in Lisp!
