Problem with postgresql jdbc package examples

[Doug Thistlethwaite]

Hello,

I downloaded the postgresql packages and the jdbc stuff and am trying to
get the included examples working.  I get the following message when I
run the "basic" example in the jdbc package.

Connecting to Database URL = jdbc.postgresql://dragonknoll:5432/doug
Exception caught.
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Compiled Code)
        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:137)
        at example.basic.<init>(basic.java:34)
        at example.basic.main(basic.java:168)


Does this mean there is a problem with the driver?  The postgresql.jar
file is in the classpath.  The linux system I am using is called
dragonknoll and it should be using the default port of 5432.

Any thoughts on what is going wrong?

Thanks,

Doug
