Well:
public boolean makeConnection(String url,String usr,String pwd)
{
System.out.println("Attempting to forge connection to
"+url);
try {
db=DriverManager.getConnection(url,usr,pwd);
dbmd=db.getMetaData();
st=db.createStatement();
is the head of what I have trying to connect to the DB.
I am running java -Djdbc.drivers=postgresql.Driver <programme>
and postmaster -i &
It's picking up the DB file because I can connect using psql tool localy,
and the code works when I connect just to localhost?
Hope you can help
Alex T
