I know the method to connect using jdbc6.4.jar on local disk and editing CLASSPATH, but it seems to me inconvenient to ask user to download driver and edit environment. Does it possible to use construction like that: Class.forName("http://somewhere.com/postgresql.Driver/jdbc6.4.jar/postgresql .Driver").newInstance(); ? Excuse me if it is FAQ, but I didn't find anything of the kind in mailing list. Thank you, --------------------------- Sergei Chernev Internet: ser@nsu.ru Phone: +7-3832-397354
