Hi all ... I am having a problem trying to run a java program that uses jdbc to connect to postgres. I am running RH 6.0 and a couple of jdbc drivers I found on the net, one called rst.sql.Driver (from MIT) and another one called postgresql.Driver. I have created a datanase called data and the postmaster is initialized as follows: nohup postmaster -i -D /home/users/mrbenji/data -b /usr/bin/postgres -S When I try to execute an SQL statement from Java, I either get a broken pipe or a connection reset by peer message, both throwing and IOException during an InputStream.read invocation within the jdbc driver code. Does anybody know what I could be doing wrong? Or, could anybody tell refer to me a JDBC driver that is reliable (although I believe the ones I have downloaded are reliable, so ignore this option unless any of you really suggest a different driver). Maybe somebody can help by letting me step by step how to run this thing. I feel confident enough with postgres but there is probably something wrong with the way I am starting the postmaster. I know by default it uses port 5432 and that is the port I am trying to talk to from java. An instantiation of a Connection object works fine, like I said the problem is when it tries to read from the postgres backend. Any clues???
