AAMOF, when I connect from the console ($ psql mydb), the postgres.log registers the successfull connection with the row: 2005-03-19 01:25:00 [4325] LOG: connection authorized: user=ennio database=mydb ^^^^^^^^^^ which follows the various rows (two for each of my databases) saying: 2005-03-18 01:24:17 [5426] LOG: connection received: host=[local] port= 2005-03-18 01:24:17 [5426] LOG: connection authorized: user=postgres database=odontolinux ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ So it seems that the sdbc driver is "not even knocking at postgres' door" ! Any further suggestion will be appreciated.
