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
