Subject: JDBC-IE5-no suitable driver
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

running Microsoft's IE 5 ends in trouble when I start an applet that
should
display the result of a database access via jdbc under postgresql 6.4.2.
Although the jdbc-driver seems to be successfully loaded because
the initial try-block
   try { Class.forName("postgresql.Driver"); }
   catch(Exception e) { ... } 
throws no exception or error message
the following try-block 
   try {
          Vector results = new Vector();
          Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user,
passwd);
          Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
          ....
       }
   catch(SQLException ex)
       {
           System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
       }
throws a SQLException and reports:

        "SQLException: no suitable driver"

running Netscapes Navigator, the same applet displays the result of the
database query via jdbc under postgresql 6.4.2 without any exception or
error.

thanks
