How to use PostgreSQL

Recommended Posts

I installed iReports from iReport-1.3.1-windows-installer.exe in windows xp.

 

I saved postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc4.jar file from postgresql.org to C:Program FilesJasperSoftiReport-1.3.1lib

 

 

In iReports connection properties I specified:

 

Type of Connection/Data Source: Database JDBC connection

 

JDBC driver: postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc4.jar

 

JDBC url: jdbc://localhost:5432/mydb

 

 

Clicking Test button causes error

 

ClassNotFoundError!

This class may not have found: postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc4.jar

 

 

Any ida hot to use PostgreSQL with iReport ?

I selected this driver but clicking Test button causes erorr

 

ClassNotFoundError!

Msg: org.postgresql.Driver

This class may not have been found: org.postgresql.Driver

 

Check your classpath.

 

 

I'm new to java.

What I'm doing wrong ?

How to force it to use the postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc4.jar or any other free Postgres driver ?

org.postgresql.Driver can be found in that jar - jar name != driver name.

 

If the file is in your iReportlib folder, it doesn't have to be on the classpath - allthough it doesn't hurt.

 

Change your url to:

Code:
jdbc:«»postgresql://~~~~~~~~~~

I changed "JDBC URL" field in Connection Properties to

 

jdbc:postgresql://postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc4.jar

 

but clicking test button still shows ClassNotFoundError

 

postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc4.jar file is specified in classpath and copied to iReport lib directory.

 

What I'm doing wrong ?
